As to whether every individual allocation of labor is a correct allocation, no, and in DevOps particularly (not uniquely among engineering disciplines) I think many tech choices are made for the agent rather than the principle.

As to whether automation will happen, trivially yes, automation is why you can deploy 100k+ server fleets without requiring a stadium full of sysadmins. As to whether automation gets you below “20% of my engineers work on DevOps”, I am not optimistic at scale.
