That's my feeling, that you get all the benefits of rapid/frequent deployment by doing so to non-production environments, and deploy to production when you have a good reason to do so. But either way I don't really understand being driven by a desire to ensure every commit results in a deploy. It boggles my mind that a complex product, especially involving mobile platforms, could be fully built, ci-tested, deployed then e2e tested within 10 minutes, even with a massive array of distributed computing power. Mostly due to 3rd party tools that give you no choice but to wait 20 minutes or more for certain steps to complete. I'm intrigued to know how it's done.
