Do we really need network automation?

I really like way Avaya and Cisco DNA do automation. It’s all centrally managed and it uses VXLAN so no vlans have to be present. Just say you want vlan 20 here and here and it takes care of the rest

Avaya's previous network architecture (their networking business is now owned by Extreme) wasn't at all centrally managed. I'd go as far to say SPBM is the anti-thesis of centralized networking management. It didn't use VXLAN either.
