The yaml document from hell
As /u/astatine said, an excellent but under-recognized alternative syntax for configuration files is NestedText, where everything is a string unless the ingesting code says otherwise, and there is no escaping needed ever.

Yaml: First Class Citizen?
I don't know what traits from markdown you'd hope for, but for a relatively obscure but technically excellent format, you can check out NestedText.

A Nigthtmare called YML
I recently came to appreciate and favor an alternative format called NestedText. Like YAML, indentation is used for structure, so like YAML, you may hate it.

nt2: a CLI converter between NestedText and JSON, YAML, or TOML
I recently discovered NestedText, and really appreciate the design. To me, it hits the nail on the head where projects like strictyaml and hjson come very close.

YAML: It's Time to Move On
I'm glad to see people experimenting with alternative document/object representations, but this one might be a hard sell: based on the README[1], it only has Python, Zig and Janet implementations so far. One of the nice things about YAML (and JSON, TOML, etc.) is that they have decently mature C, C++, or Rust libraries that other languages bind to.

My two favorite things share the same love as me for YAML!
NestedText

Json alternatives
NestedText was left out. Has the feel of YaML, without all the complexity and user traps.

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.
