The sole reason I like feature flags is that I can quickly toggle off a change if it causes a problem. I'd hate to need to find someone to sign off on restoring service. Anything more than 1 or 2 clicks is just adding precious seconds to an outage. I've worked at places that gave broad implicit approval to developers to toggle away as needed. It worked well.
