Boilerplate in itself is not complexity (eg import statements), it’s just tedious and unergonomic. In fact it can reduce complexity, again with example of imports being a better alternative than global symbols. Coupled boilerplate on the other hand is complexity, where if you change x in front end you also must change corresponding x in backend.
