Your assessment is correct. It takes much longer to just run the app for the first time. The savings come in when you want to redeploy the app in multiple environments, test it, and develop new features on it. That's when all of these steps make sense - although, hopefully you'll be able to remove steps 1 & 2 when everything is a docker / Kubernetes workload.
