Our cluster has reasonable complexity and yamls work well so far. Maybe we will see what you are saying if we scale further. It allows us to maintain a much more complex cluster with fewer developers. And the software is well tested/reliable. But not having LTS is really difficult. It is impossible to keep rewriting things. And all related components: terraform, helm, GKE etc also update too quickly for us to manage with a small team. We do some lower level infrastructure work so these problems bites us harder.
