Sorry. I wasn't advocating for "copying and pasting", rather, I was using that as an example of how simply PHP can be managed. More generally, the simplest case is often a good proxy for what to expect when dealing with more complex scenarios. Of course we automate the above behind the proper pipelines!

Many of your other concerns are big "nothing burgers". It's not like versioning, patching, config, tuning, monitoring, etc. are any less of a pain in other runtimes. At worst you could argue that it's different.
