A huge benefit of tests is their regression protection against future changes, often by other engineers. You don’t get that from ad hoc manual execution.

Even software of modest size is at a level of complexity beyond what a human can QA in a reasonable amount of time for every revision. If you're at the point of needing a checklist with even 3 items on it, you're past the point of needing tests.
