worst part is being on-call/responsible any time something goes wrong on prod

True, this can be awful if your org operates globally. This isn't a big deal in orgs that deal with a single region. However, I will say the worse part is that when things go wrong, you are first to get a call which can be very stressful. I still get anxiety when someone uses the :rotating-light: emoji.
And not being paid for that time (in most cases).
