Counterpoint: Even on my private VPS, I have all the configuration as code. It gives me peace of mind knowing that when a server comes crashing down for whatever reason, I can reinstall it and bring all services back online with not more than one hour of time invested. Time is precious.

(Also, when someone asks me "how do you configure X", I can just link them to the corresponding place in my system configuration repo on Github.)

I'd be interested in seeing the config if it's public?

Exactly. The Readme is horribly outdated, but the basic remarks are still true.
