But at the same time I want to be as transparent as possible. For this, can I share the view key with people? So anyone can check transactions and see the balance.

In the end, what exactly does the view key expose?

Yes, you can, it exposes incoming transactions (but not the outgoing ones).

Please note that the private view key, barring some edge cases, can also see outgoing transactions for all practical tracing purposes. They however can't see the outgoing destination address. See this presentation: https://youtu.be/MYzZ1DzSWCY?t=263 for more info.
