Kube-vip now can do both jobs so no need for metallb. This will simplify the install. also it will avoid arp spam from two different layer2 loadbalancers on the same network.

For reference: https://kube-vip.io/docs/about/features/

Thanks! I am aware however due to MetalLB's popularity we are going to stick with it for now!
