From a career standpoint sysadmin is a pejorative term in 2019. I'm the 'not feature code' director at a company that manufactures companies. Meaning 20% of my time is what you describe above. This is along side security work, occasionally feature code for one aspect of our moonshot that I have more experience than everyone else on, architecture work for all the properties to make sure they can talk to each other (while still maintaining enough separation that we could sell any of them at any time), building out a small manufacturing facility, and managing their transition to docker (which they only pursued because I pushed it). I also manage 2 other people (one of whom is a remote contractor) who do bits and pieces of the same and yes, a little endpoint laptop crap. If they had billed the position as a sysadmin I wouldn't have taken it. Sysadmin pigeonholes you into a very specific role in many peoples eyes, whether it's true or not. Labels matter.
