I dunno if k8s is actually right for your company, but it most certainly is possible to configure it to give engineers limited access, including viewing logs, pod status, services and deployments, etc, but not reading sensitive data or updating anything. In my opinion, deploying production services using devops technology nobody on the team has much understanding of is what's a bad idea, not any particular technology.
