In my experience there is a near zero uptake of jsonnet or similar amongst "regular" i.e less ops inclined developers.

gotmpl is a lot easier to grok if you are coming in cold. Yes it sucks for anything mildly complex, but the barrier to entry is significantly lower.

Generation via real programming languages is the future I am hoping for.

Jsonnet looks like a case of XKCD-927[0]. I fully agree with you that real programing languages are the way to go for generating anything more complex.
