How does this help in situations where something rogue starts filling the disk? The idea makes sense in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work out that well. Ops work is significantly harder than many devs think..

No, it's not (I've done both). Ops is about process, and risk analysis and mitigation. Yes, there's always the possibility that something can go rogue and start filling your disk. That shouldn't be remotely common, though, if you've built your systems properly.
