    There is some follow-up improvements to come, like OCI registries (announced in FluxCD 0.32), to replace flux.GitRepository. We still need this issue to be solved to be able to use it with all features provided by Kustomize.

    The combination of the tools I mention at the end would likely satisfy all of your needs. kustomize-controller, which is the part of flux that deploys your application, has the ability to check if the deployment's health check failed. I assume it also has the ability to rollback (or at least it easily might in the future). it also tracks the state of the applied objects so that it can delete objects that are not used anymore.
