Karpenter doesn't actually scale out nodes within the Managed Node Group. While you can use Karpenter alongside managed node groups, Karpenter defines its own set of limits (provisioner.spec.limits.resources). Kube scheduler will schedule to existing nodes in a managed node group if they exist. But when scaling, it will spin up new nodes that are not part of any Autoscaling Group or Managed Node Group. Hopefully that helps!

Karpenter by design is different than cluster autoscaler. It aims at rapid scale-out for unscheduled pods and also quick scale-in (ttl based) when nodes are empty. The focus is now back on making compute available on-demand and fast.
Ideally, Karpenter should work in harmony with existing node groups (managed or not) by manipulating ASGs directly rather than creating unmanaged instances. Perhaps an alternate Provisioner could be developed to do this. It would be less complex than the existing Provisioner since there would be no need for subnetSelector, securityGroupSelector, InstanceProfile, etc. - all can be determined directly from the existing ASG and LaunchTemplate.
@kennyk It's actually not quite so easy to work with existing node groups because Karpenter would essentially need to duplicate the logic that Cluster Autoscaler already has to determine which group to scale up and all the additional logic around monitoring that group (which does essentially what you described). There are notable performance improvements in a group-less model, Justin does a better job than I of explaining it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QsVRHVdOnM
