AWS Blueprints for Crossplane Release version

What is your environment, configuration and the example used?

What did you do and What did you see instead?

The gavinbunney/kubectl provider is no longer actively maintained and is known to be very unstable and unusable at this point. I did a minor change in main.tf and reapplied and saw these errors which are typical symptoms of the unstable state of the provider. Across EKS Blueprints we are discontinuing the use of the kubectl_manifest and recommending folks to use the Hashicorp terraform-provider-kubernetes or package up the yaml files as inline helm charts.
