I think that’s precisely the opposite of the SRE/DevOps model. The developers shouldn’t be managing their own clusters (istio, etc) but they should be able to define and maintain their own applications (not just the container code but also supporting infra).

Assuming that I can now take away time from other things to gain the knowledge to do so, sure. Also, taking away the development time from all other developers to do so.
