Sync certificates without mounting a volume

[Basssiiie]

Describe the solution you'd like
Hello, currently it seems you have to mount a SecretProviderClass to a pod before it starts creating Kubernetes secrets. Would it be possible to have a SecretProviderClass be synced even without a pod or a volume mount?

Our use case is that we want to sync our wildcard certificate once for all apps/ingresses in the namespace that use it, without having to pick a specific app that will do have the side effect of ensuring the certificate is present in the namespace. This also allows us to have one specific managed identity/workload identity accessing the key vault for that certificate, instead of having different apps with different identities all have access to the same key vault.

Thank you for your time. :)

Environment:

• Secrets Store CSI Driver version: (use the image tag): v1.4.3
• Azure Key Vault provider version: (use the image tag): v1.5.2
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version): v1.25.9
• Cluster type: (e.g. AKS, aks-engine, etc): AKS
