Dedpulication standards of Helm Charts values file for a global chart with subcharts for our app. What's the right way to only need to specify a value once?
I would point you to what I call the "Universal Helm Charts" and some examples of how to use them.

Monitoring many cluster k8s
Shameless Plug: Here's one of my dashboards I made for Ingress-Nginx, which is my recommended border router/gateway into all the services. It adds deep robust metrics and configurability, and if you've got years of experience with Nginx also, it allows you rich complex customization via nginx's configuration structure via kubernetes annotations. Besides that I have open-source helm charts which are easy to use, boilerplates showing how to use them, a volume autoscaler to automatically resize your disks as they get full, and a blog where I share various of my experience which is a companion blog to my upcoming book of the same name. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best way of managing Helm?
Here is an example of a repo that uses an sub-chart: https://github.com/DevOps-Nirvana/Helm-Chart-Boilerplates/tree/master/boilerplate-apache-with-configmap-template/deployment

Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
Use multi-values files with helm ALWAYS. Allowing an env-specific overlay to tweak your default values files. See: https://github.com/DevOps-Nirvana/Helm-Chart-Boilerplates/tree/master/boilerplate-echoserver/deployment/boilerplate-echoserver

The Helmet is a Helm Library Chart that defines many chart templates like Deployment, Service, Ingress, etc which can used in other application charts.

Helm Chart Boilerplates are examples of usage of the above Universal Helm Charts to help people understand how to use them more, a stop-gap until I add more documentation

Creating Kubernetes Templates
Helm Chart Usage Boilerplates (Examples of using these helm chart)

Use Kubernetes to load test my product.
To help you on deploying your service, I've created open source generic/universal Helm Charts to make it easy to do the above. Here are the Universal Helm Charts and here's some boilerplate examples of using them. These built-in have support for HPAs, services, ingresses, etc, making it as easy as autoscaling.enable: true I haven't gotten around to documenting the helm charts yet, but there's lots of comments in the values.yaml file explaining everything.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
YTT - YTT is a templating tool that understands YAML structure. It helps you easily configure complex software via reusable templates and user provided values using the Starlark language.

Alternatives to Helm/Kustomize for complex Kubernetes Deployments
Adding https://carvel.dev/ytt/ to the list. I was happy using this tool as IMO it mixes good things from Helm and Kustomize, however the syntax is ugly and repelling my colleagues to have a closer look.

The YAML Document from Hell
> Templating yaml is a terrible, terrible idea
I've had a good time using ytt: https://carvel.dev/ytt/. It implements language-aware templating, which is IMO the only reasonable way to do it.
-
Creating Kubernetes Templates
`ytt` is part of the Carvel toolchain. https://carvel.dev/ytt/
-
Dealing with YAML overload
I agree with you on `you will want to see just plain texts instead of a bunch of templating token with hidden logic.` Which is why I think https://carvel.dev/ytt/ would be great. We could generate these templates in pipelines, or we could just make it easier to maintain what we have.

How to handle the lifecycle of multiple COTS
For more advanced configuration management you might be interested in ytt ( https://carvel.dev/ytt/ ) which is a "yaml-aware" templating tool. it lets you do "patches" via an overlay mechanism to add or remove specific yaml blocks, and it also lets you use a simplified python dialect for more complicated logic. With ytt you would put your DNS IP into a "data values" file and then run ytt to render it into the configs before handing them off to the deployment tool. e.g. `ytt -f | kubectl apply`
-
The Dhall Configuration Language
I said this above as well: ytt (https://carvel.dev/ytt/) lets you embed starlark into valid yaml, among other cute tricks for managing biz-logic in configs.
