[TRACKING] Assess kustomize patch targets

[vitorfloriano]

Summary / Objective

It seems that some patches are being targeted too broadly.

Targeting too broadly could cause unintended side-effects (see #276) and lead to misconfigs.

We should assess if the current kustomize patch targets could be narrowed to avoid such issues.

Checklist / Sub-tasks

• Narrow the scope of kustomize patch targets to avoid side-effects
• Add tests to ensure configuration in manifests is sane
