Mentioning “no IaC management overhead” is weird. If you’re not using IaC, you’re doing it wrong.

However, GitOps is IaC, just by another name, so you actually do have IaC “overhead”.

Exactly, not only because Flux/ArgoCD are inherently some sort of IaC themselves, but also because on top of those tools you’ll need to have Terraform to manage the K8s cluster as well as a good practice.

And most GitOps workflows have considerably more complexity and overhead than your typical Terraform "IaC" workflow.
