With support of network policy by vpc cni ref https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/1478, looking for kube-proxy replacement which would help free up some more resources in worker nodes.

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced VPC CNI network-policy issue and its linked comment, then compare that context with the current kube-proxy addon workaround. The issue does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point; done would require a maintainer-defined kube-proxy replacement scope and acceptance criteria for EKS.
