What problem are you trying to solve?

Some api-server watcher such as fluentbit have a feature that really helps with performance on large clusters:
https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/filters/kubernetes#optional-feature-using-kubelet-to-get-metadata

They use kubelet to query all pods on the node, as it has a local cache.

Describe the solution you'd like

In case we are only interested in pods on our node, consulting kubelet can be integrated into the initial LIST operation of the watcher and substantially reduce load in large and busy cluster.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the standard watcher
