Glad you want to contribute! This is a great approach when you see
something that you miss!

I personally think it's best to go for 1) - this makes the
environments between various components more consistent and might
prevent other problems - I think there is a silen, never documented
assumption we have that "AIRFLOW_HOME" is writeable for all airflow
commands. Others might have different preferences though.

But a suggestion: rather than opening discussion in the devlist (it
has rather low-volume, important discussions and conclusions) use
Github Discussions or even better - propose a PR and relevant people
can discuss it there. Discussing the approach while seeing the code is
always better and in this case the change is small enough that just
`creating -> discussions -> changing after` approach. For small
changes like that, the latter is usually faster than making extensive
discussion upfront before attempting a PR. And not everyone in devlist
is interested in such nitty-gritty-implementation-details of Helm
Chart :)
