I dont know that getting rid of those wacky Excel sheets is a prerequisite to having AI work. We already have people like Automation Anywhere watching people hand carve their TPS reports so that they can be recreated mechanistically. Its a short step from feeding the steps to a task runner to feeding them to the AI agent. Paradigm shifts in the technology do not generally occur simultaneously with changes in how we organize the work to be done. It takes a few years before the new paradigm backs into the workflow and changes it. Lift and shift was the path for several years before cloud native became a thing, for example. People used iPhone to call taxi companies, etc. It would be a shame to not take the opportunity to tear down some old processes, but, equally, sometimes Chesterton's fence is there for good reason.
