Is anyone "signing off" on the deploys or is it fully automatic? I can't really imagine it being manual 40 times per day, but just wanted to hear.

How do you handle the scenario that some developer pushes a send_me_all_the_credit_card_details() function to the code base which does something 'evil'? Do you rely on the reviewer "doing their works properly" to handle that?

I'm not saying formal "signing off"-steps in processes handle it, but some companies does them for that reason.

We generally require 2 reviewers, and no sign-off on deploys. For PCI-compliant code things work a bit differently, but tries to follow this as closely as possible.
