It sort of depends on what you assume become table-stakes tools. Spreadsheets reduced some work, created more work (run a bunch of alternative models), and yes probably eliminated some work--for the people fluent in them. It's probably hard to argue that spreadsheets (which have become the most inarguably successful low-code tools) have markedly decreased the amount of work their users need to do in companies.
