Sort of agree. There are caveats of course but I tend to think if you can just start with a bunch of manually setup instances and roll from there. If you find yourself spending hours per day starting up and shutting down instances manually then yes, automate that part.
Nothing I've ever done has taken off at all so automating DevOps would have been a total waste of time. Then again the projects themselves have been a complete waste of time.
I think it depends on whether you automate it so that it goes out of your way so you can spend more time on things crucial to your work - or you're just pontificating because you hate your job anyway.
