Change control needs to be structured around risk. I.e how much $ are you losing a second given an outage. Also, not all changes have the same risk. Your change control process should be malleable to these realities. If a change is low risk and the reward is high then it shouldn't need the same controls as a high risk change. Also, there are more ways to mitigate risk other than additional steps in the release process. TLDR absolutists make poor release engineers.
