That's been my thinking for a while, too.
I work extensively on Kubernetes-hosted apps, but our org has (wisely, probably) eschewed service meshes in favour of ingress-based solutions. However, the simplicity of those solutions make things creaky and error-prone.
Rather than injecting sidecar containers that set up networking and so on, having pods join an existing SDN that just works with no app-side config would be a much more elegant solution.
Other than Cilium, I'm not aware of an SDN like ZeroTier or Wireguard that works seamlessly with Kubernetes this way (and which also works on managed Kubernetes like GKE and EKS).
