You should not have imposters syndrome if you're replacing the gcloud command. That command makes developers go crazy. For the longest time it was not possible to use micro instances because each time the gcloud apt package upgraded it would need so much resources just to install the package that it'd crash the entire vm. Last time I checked, it needed 60,000 system calls just to list a folder. Most of its invocations can be replaced with clever bash one-liners that curl the json api and metadata.google.internal. So I hope Google is paying attention because their user-facing command line tools are so bad that someone founded a business to be its complete antithesis. So maybe they should have someone take a break on squeezing the last 99.9%ile of latency out of bigtable and build a working command line interface.
