Sure thing, if you're building something complex, you have to deal with complexity, there is no way around it, low-code doesn't change it.

But I've seen lots of non-coding professionals who spend hours every week just looking up some info on various websites just to copy some text/number/address from a well-structured page and paste it into a spreadsheet. Could this be automated? Absolutely! Do they want to learn how to write a program, handle errors, manage the deployment of their scripts? Absolutely not.

Low Code has its place, and there are no conceptual downsides to starting with a low-code solution and then hiring software engineers to flesh it out and handle all the special cases. All we need is a low-code platform built around some real programming language that you can put into git, review, debug locally etc — with a no-coder-friendly interface built on top of it. This part is missing, and that's what causes people to dislike the low-coding in general.
