Yes, they probably could be optimized. Backend API tests are usually fast, or can be made so. Webdriver based tests are annoying to write and usually slow, so I don't test frontend code automatically.

Kinda feels like a waste of time, especially if your code is well componentized and there are not many central points of failure. (and those are pretty easy to see with cursory manual testing)
