Comprehensive unit and integration tests strike me as a waste of time. From what I've seen, getting around 70%~80% code coverage is usually going to be around the tipping point where you start to get diminishing returns.
Don't get me wrong, I think testing is important. But there's tons of code where you get no value by writing tests for it. (At least in frontend development.)
We don't have a QA person, but I think it'd be great to have one. You can't write automated tests to check that things all look like they should. You can't write automated tests to check that all of the interactions are behaving as expected.
