There has been a great announcement today with the beta of nomad 1.2 - nomad-pack: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-pack . Which, in my opinion, is aiming to be helm for nomad.
Which is really great, because we've basically built nomad-pack in terraform and we would really like nomad-pack to replace that, because .. it works, but it could be better than terraform wrangling for templating :)

Also worth noting when running your own k8s(or k3s) cluster;
> Running Kubernetes is not free. It is expected that it will take about 0.5 to 0.75 of a single core on an embedded system like a Raspberry Pi just as a baseline. [1]

> One JSON/YAML file too uwieldy? Generate it using jsonnet/CUE/dhall/your favourite programming language. Or just talk directly to the Kubernetes API. You don't have to use Helm - in fact, you probably shouldn't be using Helm (as the whole idea of text templating YAML is... thoroughly ignorant in understanding what Kubernetes actually is).
Agreed 99%, but there is one useful thing that Helm provides over Kubectl+structured templating (Nix/dhall/whatever): pruning objects that are no longer defined in your manifest.
However, that's solvable without taking on all of Helm's complexity. For example, Thruster[0] (disclaimer: an old prototype of mine) provides a pruning variant of kubectl apply.

> Despite its reputation, Kubernetes is actually quite easy to master for simple use cases. And affordable enough for more complex ones.
Are you referring to actually spinning up and operating your own clusters here or utilizing managed k8s (e.g. GKE/EKS)?
In my understanding, sure - using the managed services and deploying simple use cases on it might not be that big of a deal, but running and maintaining your own k8s cluster is likely far more of a challenge [1] than Nomad as I understand it.
