Today's stack is way too complex, and fragile. The entire stack relies on the goodwill of other projects to continue to be maintained/not have breaking changes.

Today's stack is way too complex, and fragile. The entire stack relies on the goodwill of other projects to continue to be maintained/not have breaking changes. Even with the initial setup cost s(h)aved there will be a continuous maintenance burden. What you get in abstraction and automation you pay back in babysitting the additional connecting interfaces.
