I think it entirely depends on the path you're taking. For example, I'd disagree with the quoted section you made for a different reason. I'd almost always suggest early stage startups to use something like Heroku (if it works for them), which gives them the ability to pay a small premium in order to never have to spend too much time dealing w/ devops stuff. Pre product-market-fit, that's wasted time/effort unless specific devops needs are essential to getting there.
