I used to work in process automation. So you're aware, the reason human CRUD apps exist is to handle edge cases & changing context. Often, it takes more time/money to adequately describe the human process than it does to just do it.

You can see this principle with ERP implementations - they can literally bankrupt an entire company if you get too ambitious with what can be automated.

Edge cases & changing business context aren't going away.

Bingo! The business I work for specializes in and caters to edge cases. It is why we are profitable and we let the big boys do all of the big easy jobs that aren't as profitable.

Does your speciality portfolio of edge cases change over time, e.g. are some eventually handled by bigger companies because they become more common?

Rarely but it has happened. When properly diversified this is only an inconvenience.
