No one is using this in production as far as we know.
The code has existed for a long time but it was broken most of the time and not actually usable. That this was never reported and only found in Improve topo handling and add additional functionality #10906 (comment) when adding some additional unit tests. This also supports the previous point that no one is using this.
Kubernetes as a dependency is heavy and anecdotally increases for example vttablet binary by ~40% in size. That's for something apparently unused. The dependency is also complex as it requires specific versioning that then causes issues for example with updating the https://github.com/planetscale/vitess-operator for specific Kubernetes versions. If that conflicts, we're in a problematic dependency conflict. Removing k8stopo allows for removing the entire Kubernetes dependency from Vitess itself, creating smaller binaries and easier to maintain code.
Since no once is using it, there's no stakeholder to keep it updated if for example Kubernetes issues CVEs that force is to update.
