No problem that's what code review is good for :-)

Yep, but I would recommend "kubectl config view --context=$(kubectl
config current-context) -o json". We don't need the information about
other context.

I don't recommend it for hostname completion. I recommend it for opening
a connection; the cleanup shall happen in tramp-maybe-open-connection
via a hook.
If a user changes the context while there is an active connection in
Tramp, she will be lost. But this isn't an Emacs/Tramp specific
situation, so we don't need to care or document it.

Sure, but if we can this automate, it doesn't hurt. People tend to
forget to follow such recommendations for cleanup, and we will be blamed
with error reports about invalid cache entries then.
I'm just working on a patch, will show it to you for confirmation prior
commitment.
