I use tanka/jsonnet and cringe everytime I read a helm chart. Type safety would be nice, but the k8s api can verify the validity on the server.

Tanka is what I want to use when the time comes.

Are there any pitfalls you have learned to avoid?

I think it might still have issues figuring out that it needs to apply CRDs first: https://github.com/grafana/tanka/issues/246 Besides that, I found it super-handy for deploying https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator and https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin

LE: The "garbage collection" feature is very interesting, but I didn't get to experiment with it enough yet: https://tanka.dev/garbage-collection

tanka helped me make peace with k8s (yaml) or at least made for a good learning environment for k8s than the other options. Wonder about other peoples experience or their rite of config tool passage
