This feels like the “Documentation just goes out of date so don’t bother argument” Documentation (which is what a playbook is) isn’t milk, it doesn’t just “go out of date”. People let it go out of date by not keeping it up to date. Docs going out of date isn’t the problem, the problem lies in the system that causes it to go out of date. The only reason automation doesn’t go out of date is because it breaks and so you have to fix it, the problem is that each of those little fixes takes time, probably more time that updating the docs. Automation is great but to approach it as a binary choice is wrong.
