Great, so I guess this thread is closed now.

Definitely not. Tramp has its own scope.

Yes. Tramp won't mess with kubel for pod management. I'm not certain
where Tramp extension for kubernetes file name syntax will go, likely
into Emacs 30 / Tramp 2.7. But this won't be a problem, Tramp is
available via ELPA, and when it is stable enough, Tramp 2.7 will be
there.
