cd: upgrade helm 3.8 -> 3.11 and kubectl 1.23 -> 1.24

[consideRatio]

K8s 1.25 is out, and we may very well upgrade to it or create a new cluster with it very soon. That makes it relevant to ahead of time upgrade kubectl to version 1.24 so that we can assume based on a k8s official version skew poolicy that kubectl can work against the not yet deployed/upgaded k8s 1.25 cluster.

I think historically we have been held back by k8s clusters versioned 1.21 or older, but now we are at k8s 1.22 and above so we can probably make this upgrade.

I didn't find the reason why we were still using helm 3.8.2, but I recall issues of using something newer at some point. But with all Helm charts upgraded to modern versions and k8s clusters upgraded to 1.22+ I think we can also upgrade helm at this point.
