The magic is a problem in other ways as well, it confounds static analysis (Psalm has to have a separate plugin just to be able to profile it). I'm not saying it's a fault of Laravel (yet) because the framework predates a lot of 7/8 stuff but they show absolutely no incentive towards making it better in that area. Frankly, just pick symfony it's a better tool for longer lived projects, better documented (insanely better), better backwards compatibility.
