That is assuming that the system is ready and no further changes need to be made to it. Every time changes are made, deployment of new features do still require administration and security checking. But pretty much the same can be said about non-serverless tech stacks. If you don't make changes to the system then a single person can administer a potentially huge system.
The reality is that systems constantly need to change so serverless doesn't actually add much value and it takes away something very important: Flexibility.
