Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
We use kapp-controller when applying our charts (it uses helm template instead of helm install) so we can be very rigorous about what fields are changeable (like through pod autoscaling) and what are not (securitycontext, etc.)

How to handle the lifecycle of multiple COTS
Even further, you could describe your "fetch", "template", and "deploy" stages in akapp-controller AppCR and then you'd have a controller (like an operator) running the cluster continuously reconciling your private cloud to ensure that it's always reconverging to the desired state. This is basically what's underpinning a number of VMWare's commercial (and OSS) Tanzu offerings, as well as some other organization's internal platforms, or "self hosted private clouds"

ArgoCD vs. crossplane-helm provider for managing helm releases?
Full disclosure: I work on https://carvel.dev/kapp-controller/ which can also continuously reconcile helm charts (via our own CRD ).

K8s Service Meshes: The Bill Comes Due
Any, it doesn’t matter which as long as you don’t have to count spaces in yaml by hand.
If you really want a concrete recommendation try https://cdk8s.io/.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
CDK8s - CDK8s is used to define Kubernetes resources and applications. CDK8s uses the high-level abstraction concept called constructs to represent various Kubernetes resources such as deployments, services, and configurations. Developers can write code in programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and Java, and CDK8s will translate this code into standard Kubernetes YAML manifests that can be directly applied to a Kubernetes cluster.

I built a React renderer for Kubernetes configurations
Have you looked into https://cdk8s.io/? I've been using it for a while now, and I must admit TypeSript does help a lot. Not really sold on your React syntax yet, but well done nevertheless

How are most EKS clusters deployed?
I, personally, prefer to wrap it in CDKTF/CDK8S in golang and manage with Crossplane Composition Functions, but your mileage may vary. I'm finding way too bugs in CDK's... but it calms me a bit, that Amazon folks actually looking into it.

Editing Badly formatted yaml file
Have you looked into cdk8s? That will let you get away from dealing with yaml and let you use code instead. Helm included.

kpt, cue, ... Your experiences?
My favorite is cdk8s + typescript.
