I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You list a number of problems that are addressed relatively well within Kubernetes whilst staying somewhat ergonomic; or at least more so than Chef, puppet, ansible, etc. I'm not sure if you had the misfortune of working with any of the others, but it's extremely frustrating having to untangle them, especially after the 50th variation of it, because it's always done subtly different either because of scripts or something else. Kubernetes and Kustomize remove all these issues. You learn the language (or schema, I guess) once, and your never have to re-learn idiosyncrasies, dialects, variable nomenclatures, and others used between different projects. Also, here's little room for creativity with templating languages that break tooling (I'm aware of Helm, but I also dislike Helm personally). I also have a feeling this is what people dislike about Kubernetes. It's boring, but it's meant to be.
