How and when to use Helm and Kustomize together
It's a built in feature of kustomize https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/api/types/helmchartargs.go

Alternatives to Helm?
I think the combination of Kustomize and helm works in my experience. For advanced use cases, you can also see KRM functions in Kustomize.

How to pass dynamic values to Kustomize?
See for instance a related issue: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/issues/3866

Help with Kustomize: cleanest way to replace an environment variable in a pod or deployment?
Using a strategic merge is the safest way so you avoid the index fragility.

Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
Rendering out the manifests is something I have been pushing for. Not having to understand how every templating tool works and what actually is being changed is key. Though, it gets complicated when you use helm (or any templating/patching tool) that produces many variants. You also lose any release/deployment time hooks that are provided (helm hooks or recently "patched" kustomize env variables).

Monokle, Kustomize & Quality Kubernetes Deployments
Kustomize is an open-source project that “lets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.” It’s now the most popular tool for customizing Kubernetes manifests reasonably, and it’s even built directly into the Kubernetes CLI since K8s v1.14.

Kubernetes Dashboards: Lens
Extensions is a newer feature in Lens that allows you to write custom code to extend Lens, or to re-use extensions that other people have built. Right now there are a few extensions shared on GitHub. Hopefully more will emerge. Kubecost just released an extension for tracking your cost metrics in Lens.
