One problem with SysAdmin stuff is that, like crypto, we keep telling folk it's too hard and just out-source. While I think don't roll your own crypto makes sense - we've done a dis-service to the trade to discourage self-hosting and other methods to practice the craft. Don't run your own infra, use AWS. Don't host your own email it's too hard, just use a provider. Etc. Then a decade later...hey, how come nobody is good at SysAdmin?

Most of the "don't do X it's too hard" is just $corp who wants to sell their preferred solution trying to convince you to buy their SaaS equivalent of a Bash script.
