To my experience helm is great at some things but the fact that does too many things leads to engineers shooting their foot and then you have two problems: K8s and helm problems to solve ;-)

The fact you add complex logic in the chart makes deployment logic problematic when debugging complex workflows because team1 instilled all the logic in the CI while team2 in the helm chart(!) and team3 50-50.

I prefer using bash + gnu utils (envsubst & see) and kustomize than playing around with a template language running on top of another … the funny part was that we run all this thing via Jenkins & bash. I recall having to use an inordinate number of escapes in some cases… anyway.
