Using Terraform to both create kubernetes clusters (AKS) and deploy helm charts in the same project - good or bad?
IMO, a better approach would be to provision your cluster using terraform, then do cluster operations using a GitOps tool, such as GitOps Toolkit (Flux v2) - https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/. You can point multiple clusters to the same repo and they are going to apply and reconcile the desired state for all or your clusters if needed. There’s also a Flux terraform provider - https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux, bootstrap flux then let it do its job.
- Does anyone use terraform to manage Kubernetes objects as opposed to using plain yamls/helm charts/kustomize?

How do you automate Helm charts installation?
You could try this: https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux

Helm-Compose – The Docker-compose like tool for K8s development
We've been using Helmsman (https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman) for the same use case. It supports some other creature comforts (automatic fetching of parameters from AWS SSM, chart ordering, etc.) and seems a bit more mature.

Which GitOps for very small teams?
I've been using https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman for quite a few years now. Very pleased with it.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Have you looked at https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman ?

How do you deliver Kubernetes applications in 2022?
Kustomize manifests. Each microservice in its own folder. We have around 10 microservices, so it works for us. Db/metrics/monitoring/operators go into a Helmsman file.

Terraform/helm and environment variables
I'm using Helmsman. It's a wrapper around Helm that allows you to inject environmental variables, amongst other things. It allows me to easily inject environmental variables from my Gitlab CI/CD into my Helm release.
