Immutability in software development & deployment is, for the vast majority of use cases, completely unnecessary. The only reason people talk about it now is everyone has a fetish over using simple software rather than designing software that works well. And 'immutable practices' don't damage anything - they simply make things take longer, duplicate effort, make inefficient use of resources, and make everything generally more inflexible. The only benefit seems to be high level abstraction at the cost of everything else.
