  Agreed. We've seen this with our customers at OpsLevel who lean away from Backstage. Installing (and updating) Backstage is painful. One of our team members who previously ran a Backstage instance at $OldJob wrote about that pain: https://www.opslevel.com/blog/hands-on-backstage-learnings https://www.opslevel.com/blog/hands-on-backstage-learnings

  The problem isn't really installing backstage but integrating all the stuff around it. It is not a turnkey solution per se and what they call plugins aren't plugins in the traditionnal sense where you would just download a package and put it in a directory. It requires editing the actual react code to set most of them. So maintaining backstage involve maintaining a set of patches and a pipeline to build a docker image.
