From a resource perspective this makes sense but from a security perspective this drives me a little bit crazy. Sidecars aren't just for managing traffic, they're also a good way to automate managing the security context of the pod itself.
The current security model in Istio delivers a pod specific SPIFFE cert to only that pod and pod identity is conveyed via that certificate.
That feels like a whole bunch of eggs in 1 basket.
