"more tenants or envs in shared cluster"

This is what I'm trying to convince my current company about. They want everything in a single cluster (prod, test, stage, qa).

Of course self hosting makes this more difficult to justify, since it is additional expenses for more machines.

Have you considered using OpenShift instead of Kubernetes? It comes with vastly improved multitenancy features, as well as other aspects, in regards to plain Kubernetes. OKD, the open sourced package of OpenShift allows full self-hosting: https://www.okd.io
OpenShift comes with its own headaches from my understanding. And we are too deep into Kube to switch now.
That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!

Seems like a perfect use-case for Cluster API: https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start.html

Have one global "mgmt cluster" with several workload clusters

You bet it is! Haha

Ah interesting! We'll have to look into that.
