From my experience (running Kubernetes at home), the biggest problem is that secrets managers are used to bootstrap clusters. Having to run three deployments (backend, frontend, mongodb) is a lot for a component that is supposed to bootstrap the cluster. Especially the MongoDB component is annoying, as it needs an username and password. That is why Vault from Hashicorp is so good, it supports many backends and provides distributed integrated storage (Raft), which is perfect for bootstrapping.
