adding to the ^question, the only problem i have with resources is the CRD the helm charts creates, helm v3 supports

skip-crds

flag, is there a way to pass this to the pulumi helm object?

I recommend you use the helm release resource instead, which does have "skip crds" https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/helm/v3/release/#skipcrds_csharp
