Fun with k8s starts when you realize it has no LTS and gets updated on a fixed schedule. Any given version is only officialy supported for about 1 year and a half.
Then you'll need non trivial amount of knowledge of how it works to avoid many pitfalls (the helm chart will probably only go so far, it will still need small tweaks for your specific use case)
So it's a combination of upfront time investment, ongoing tuning, and recurring maintenance events.

Honestly, I find Helm to be a trap that is going to reduce your capability to run service reliably - or understand it. It's probably one of the most annoying bits in kubernetes ecosystem
