Kubernetes resources can get very complex, regarding configurable properties of some of them. Did you think of visualizing all properties or only the connections and dependencies between those resources? I think it might get pretty hard applying dependencies on those many resources. Even with such a tool, you wouldn't be able to describe that a front-end component is consuming a backend API. The relationship isn't expressed in the YAML but in the application.
