I wrote a small terraform wrapper around helm provider that basically does what you’re saying. official kubernetes + tf support is poor, but it’s been working well for me. I rarely if ever have to touch the yaml templates that I maintain.

however, this is usually true with working with helm in general if you are using charts other people maintain. That’s one of the strengths of helm. you just shove your values into the chart and it should work. Maintaining charts is not fun though which is why I wrote the wrapper for my purposes.
