If the additional complexity is just "Use this premade thing" and it only adds a half hour here and there of work, while also giving you essentially a premade and pre-documented workflow than new people will instantly know(Whatever your "bloated" tool tells you to do), then it might be a net win anyway.

If the extra complexity is microservices and containers you might have an issue, but microservices are kind of a UNIX philosophy derivative, I'm not sure the complexity is really intentionally added(Like when someone uses an SPA framework or something), it just kind of shows up by itself when you pile on thousands of separate simple things without really realizing the big picture is a nightmare.
