Yeah it is a nuanced topic. Maybe the response should be "think about..." rather than prescriptive.

I have worked places where the sacred test suite slows people down to a grinding halt but it is hard politically (as in convincing 20 people with different concerns) to get that changed without being CTO yourself.

But also I am thinking if tests feel "throwaway" and cheap to make then adding them is no big deal. If CI becomes too long just prune it up again.
