I am currently switching from docker compose to kubernetes. Along with that, I am changing from using the :latest tag on everything to explicit versions.

Now, it's a lot of work to check all the GitHub pages for the releases and updating.

Is there some kind of dashboard that ideally would show me (per app) the version I am running vs. the current version from GitHub? (With a link to the release notes, while we are at it...).

Or is my workflow wrong to begin with? (Haven't looked too deep into something like argocd, maybe that's the answer?)

This. Helm charts and renovate. The (frequently) included release notes help ease upgrades. If the charts / apps you deploy publish good release notes, you will get them in the renovate, easing your mind when upgrading.

It's not perfect. Some don't publish release notes, or the release notes only include the chart changes and not app changes. But if provided, there's a link to the source to double check.

Also having something like ArgoCD that allows you to preview chart changes before syncing is very useful.
