Funny that most of those things don't compete: helm template and helm install are two entirely different things. Argo CD is just a way to deliver manifests to your cluster - manifests could originate from helm template, kustomize, raw manifests or JSONNet.
kubectl apply -k is...well...Kustomize...
There is a big distinction between first party software and third-party software. Helm is fine for first party software because you control the chart, but awful for 3rd party software because charts often don't have level of customization you need.
Reinstalling shit with kustomize that was installed with helm is like 1/4 of my time at work.
Kustomize won't get you 100% though because something has to generate base files first.
