this is quite the novel, I apologies for the information overload :sweat_smile:  but I felt it was necessary to explain what I was doing to understand why I have the problems that I have.

Thanks in advance to anyone that reads this :pray:

You might want to check <https://github.com/pulumi/crd2pulumi|https://github.com/pulumi/crd2pulumi>, we've been using it a lot, for example deploying prometheus and alert manager using prometheus operator

Thanks for the link! That seems like it would solve my custom resource problem, I'll try that out today

Your end goal is to create argocd applications in the target cluster, correct? Have you considered using Kustomize? You can just reference a remote `raw.githubusercontent` url and have it apply that.
