I agree with your points, but as I mentioned in another comment, if we take "imperative" and "declarative" as proxy terms for "I do or do not have a reference to the state I requested of the cluster OUTSIDE of the cluster"; my point is that updating the state, in full, by modifying the manifests and committing them to be deployed by your CD pipeline or otherwise is a better approach to ensuring you or someone else can rebuild your "empire" were it to unceremoniously burn to the ground.

I think you’re assuming that just because we’re updating the image via kubectl (which itself is invoked via CD pipeline) that the infrastructure isn’t codified and persisted, which isn’t the case. You can (and should) still have your infrastructure manifests saved in your infra repo/directory and version controlled; that’s orthogonal to how you update the current image version.
