If you've used helm for more than one day you'd know about the helm.sh/resource-policy: keep,

Which makes your first big "accidentally deleted" concern pretty near moot, so long as it's your ci/CD tools with permissions & they are using helm. So long as random cluster users aren't futzing around randomly poking at & deleting things.

Yes, you have to go way further & prevent your idiot users from being dumb, if you are giving them cluster role permissions. But again, have you considered not doing that?

Abandoned resources is no less of an issue. If there are external resources that don't have state (such as your Load balancer examp, the good news is you can delete them all & let the resource controllers recreate the real ones.

In general I feel like you are letting the 1% of concerns dominate & dissuade you, & that most people can make it very far with nothing extra.

I'm not sure why you're popping in to a thread from a week ago, starting with personal insinuations against my qualifications to have an opinion, and being a generally uncivil person.

You should try to make your points without the condescending attitude.
