For prototyping relatively simple, UI-focused apps, yes, I think low-code and no-code solutions do have a place. The key is having the awareness and discipline, when the prototype is validated and starts to gain traction, to throw it away and build the real production app using what you learned, instead of just accumulating months to years of technical debt and cruft on top of a prototype. If you launch with a "permatype" you will eventually find yourself facing a very expensive and painful "2.0" project.
