This is excellent. I may copy the rough format for tracking things internally at my company!

Btw, I agree with most of your decisions in here with just a few exceptions.

kustomize > helm
Argo > flux

My last thought is less clear though. There are good observability solutions besides datadog. Grafana Cloud is great. Honeycomb has a similar offering. But all are pretty expensive though.

If you aren’t using OpenTelemetry, you’re probably doing observability wrong!

Best I have used is Flux with helmrelease objects and kustomize. Only lacking some UI to get flux events and logs together. I guess that Argocd can do the same with application onjects using charts as source but haven't tested it yet

But managing both k8s external components (external-dns, external-secrests, CSI, etc etc) and your own apps with kustomizable charts makes so much more sense than having thousand of manifests that I would recommend everyone to try.
