> But if you are deploying a structure once only, do you really need this?
Yes. Because "once" is never just once if you're doing something remotely useful. At a bare minimum you need to pull updates for your upstream dependencies and redeploy once in a while, even if you're doing zero extension or replication of actual functionality.

It does not take 2 weeks to write the vast majority of IAC. And even if does - at least you've saved the next person who needs to update it a world of complications of having to know how to manually curate the system.
