IMHO, the biggest annoyance and difficulty with K8s, is figuring out the helm chart ecosystem with the crazy templated YAML. Some of those documents can get quite convoluted. One family of charts (say, from Bitami) will have one set of conventions for values.yaml, and other families will have a slightly different way of organizing this.

You can just not use helm. Kustomize, which is built-in, does almost everything needed and is much simpler.

But then you have an entirely different challenge if you want to use a project that only provides a chart as a deployment package / docs.

Try checking out kpt, it does packages and hydration.
