We ended up using Puppet Relay quite a bit, which is sort of a halfway house between the two ( visual editor, but yaml backed with low code instead of no code).

The main advantage from my side was being able to get adoption from a wider group of people. This included both very junior technical folk who were able to take on more complex tasks than they would have been able to otherwise, and non technical folk who found starting with the UI a lot less intimidating.

Eventually, almost everyone has gravitated to using YAML over time but I don't think I'd of seen the adoption internally that we had without the UI component.

Mileage will vary though. If we had been at a more technically mature place when adopting relay, then I reckon the UI would have seen a lot less use.
