Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?

  Example implementations of the universal helm charts

  

Use multi-values files with helm ALWAYS. Allowing an env-specific overlay to tweak your default values files. See: https://github.com/DevOps-Nirvana/Helm-Chart-Boilerplates/tree/master/boilerplate-echoserver/deployment/boilerplate-echoserver

• kustomize

  Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations

  

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).

  Declaratively deploy your Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize configs, and Charts as Helm releases. Generate all-in-one manifests for use with ArgoCD. (by helmfile)

  

I've used helmfile before to declaratively manage multiple helm charts. It's a higher-level tool, and still uses helm under the hood.
