I think it just depends on the workflow. A lot of times (probably the majority of the time) a well crafted deterministic process is what people want.

Sometimes you can have a multistep deterministic workflow with a decision that needs made somewhere in the middle, which is where an LLM that can call tools is useful.

I think there are much less repeated tasks where you would want a fully agentic process (but there are many ad hoc tasks where that is exactly what you want).
