i generally don't mind helm but im not sure i agree with every point. for the really simple stateless app situation, its trivial to create a chart with all the important or unique bits extracted to a values file.

the crd shit is borderline untenable. i learned about it during an absolutely cursed calico upgrade. oops.

since kustomize integrates tightly with kubectl these days though, i just use that for new things.

i want fewer, simpler tools.
