If I'm understanding correctly, the suggestion is to run the migration by hand and handle issues as they arise. Not nearly as nice as an automated migration.

The talk is more about creation migration scripts than deploying them, but definitely not suggesting doing anything by hand. The idea is to ensure correctness so you can automate the deployments with confidence.
