Trying to offer a different opinion from the other commenters. It sounds like your boss wants more outages. That is what less communication and projects delivered faster gets you. I think it is probably a case of imposter syndrome and your boss having unreasonable expectations (you are probably perfectly capable and he is pushing/pressuring you to do as much as possible). The fact that you have no CICD or QA makes me believe that you are trying to work around this by 'over complicating solutions' to reduce risk (which is a good move btw if your boss is the kind to place the blame on you for rushed deployments). I could be reading this totally wrong, and you will know immediately if I am. Flexible working is great, but just as bad for your mental health if your boss is a dick. Maybe it is time to look for a new gig.
