Krita has CMYK, and very good non-destructive editing these days. It's my preferred photo editor, including for the occasional magazine ad work I do. It also has great support for PS files, including smart layers, etc, plus it has layer effects, masking, filter layers, GPU accelerated canvas, and G'MIC support covers a lot of the fancier pbotoshop stuff like content-aware fill. IMO, for the workflow and interface alone, it's leagues ahead of G***.

I was unaware of the CMYK support. So sounds like maybe apart from gamut tools etc. It's getting fairly close these days which is good to hear. I've generally just been using it for drawing and painting with a little bit of editing. Though I still feel more comfortable editing in Gimp at this point.

Yea, it really is very good. I'm not sure what you mean by gamut tools, but there are out of gamut warnings, gamut masks, histograms, etc.

Generally, I'll do RAW editing in something like Darktable, and then do actual retouching work in Krita.
