I don't like the idea of replacing one well known YAML schema (k8s as much as I hate it is well known), with another YAML schema that is not well known. I think I'd rather use something to get away from YAML altogether, rather than just trade one for another. The reason helm and kustomize work well is that your existing k8s resource knowledge transfers, it sounds like it wouldn't with this thing.
Oh, it's all still Kubernetes YAML. The difference is in how it's represented. Helm Charts are packaged Golang templates of Kubernetes YAML, and as such have a whole lot of limitation since the only logic you can put into them is Golang template logic.
This is still Kubernetes YAML, but instead you write any program you want to return the YAML, as long as it fits in the sandbox, so it's pretty open-ended. For example, as a stretch goal, I might add an engine to it that could recompile Helm Charts into Mistletoe Modules.
