Is kube-rbac-proxy required? #4325

User Story

As a [distributor of Cluster-API] I would like to [distribute container images for CAPI] for [reasons].

Detailed Description

kube-rbac-proxy seems like a great project, and this is not meant to imply any mistrust of @brancz or his work, but distributing a security proxy that is a developer's personal project is concerning from both a a supply-chain and governance point of view.

Can someone clarify if kube-rbac-proxy is a required sidecar for CAPI controllers? If it is not, can templates and documentation be updated to reflect that and provide installation instructions that don't require it?

Anything else you would like to add:

My initial read is that kube-rbac-proxy is just being used to guard /metrics endpoints for Prometheus, but is there more to it then that?
