Thanks for the detailed post. Really helps newcomers like myself.

One of the benefits as a new user of k8s is the ability to grab a helm chart to get me most of the way with something like ELK. I want to go the way of Kustomize but can't seem to find the same with it?

If you want an ELK stack, you should look into the operators provided by Elastic [1]. All you need to do is write a very small manifest or two for each thing you want operated. I feel like this is a better solution to 'I want an ELK cluster' than a helm chart because it solves more problems without leaking.
