Not a fan that helm is required to generate yamls to be used with kubectl apply

Could you expand on what you dislike about this? Simply that there's an additional dependency?

I totally understand the ask; I think this would be a reasonable thing to add for a potential trust-manager v1, so I've added it to the milestone

More or less.

Also for CI and testing it's nice to just kubectl apply -f ${some_release_yaml_link}

I think adding this could make sense. It will also simplify our setup. We try to avoid Helm as much as possible and prefer kustomize. A present we inflate the Helm chart into resources client-side before including it in a kustomization for further processing.

It could be implemented as a simple helm template using the chart default values - where the result is committed to Git. It might complicate the release process a bit, but I imagine it's doable. A benefit of this approach is a "smoke test" of Helm chart changes. I am assuming Helm will remain the master of resources.
