You're just running helm charts directly from the public repo? I assume so since you say customization is a nightmare.

I use helm fetch and pull the charts with dependencies into my repo. Running direct from the public repo is a little bit too much like piping the contents of a url to bash without checking first.

You can then customize however you like.

When I want to update the charts, helm fetch it again and merge the changes.

So you are forking and maintaining the helm templates.. :-/

Not really. I'm essentially just pinning the version and then checking the updates before upgrading.
