Yes, yes, yes. Just CI/CD alone has been a huge productivity boost for one of the teams I lead. The thing is, as you scale (50 people to 200+), people adapt to depend on processes rather than individuals. If the process is automated and well documented, you'll be have even more power to tweak the inner workings without retraining anyone. Like someone else said, even if it doesn't save you time, adding automation simplifies your processes and creates a powerful abstraction, which will come in handy when you do start hitting scaling challenges.
