alt Hacker NewsI did that too, and ended up just skipping helm and using envsubst to interpolate the values I need at runtime from env vars. Nearly everyone preferred that approach. YMMV of course.

BTW, this is what Flux V2 (GitOps) supports as well and we do at our company. It's worked well and covered almost all our use cases.
I think that's a good approach if it works for your use case. Sometimes you might want something slightly more sophisticated like basic logic (loops/conditionals). In those cases, you can still use helm but you have an extremely simple template and avoid many of the "can't read this template" helm pitfalls.
