If you're going to expose static secrets to your app, it kind of doesn't matter whether they are in a single vault or in a gpg encrypted file or something. The real benefit of a vault IMHO is to distribute dynamic certificates instead of a static secret, so that way it's time-boxed, and the static secret (private key) never actually leaves the vault.
