If attacker has access to app server it is already game over. App server typically already has access to all of the data.

The pods are akin to localhost networking where there is only one externally available application with multiple networked components.

That's true, but there are usually multiple ways to compromise protected networks. You still need to protect the database against attacks that don't go through the app server.
