If this happens it means the workload wasn't built correctly to start using 12FA/SOLID principals.

Unsure of the point being made here. Serverless is a consumption based model - entirely opex in all the best ways.

While true, it doesn't paint the entire picture either (see the first point above). Most serverless becomes boilerplate at some point within an organization. In mature orgs with mature serverless deployments this is built into the CICD pipeline. This doesn't even require a large org with a dedicated platform team: a small team can do this easily but it does take time, some experience, and some good planning. Yes, the providers oversell the capabilities but they're not a complete lie.
