It’s something the organization needs to decide. If you automate a process it means you are setting it in stone and lose flexibility . Maybe that’s a good thing or not but something people need to be aware of and accept.

If you automate a process, you can in future build in variations, and gain flexibility.

And because you automated the process, your code shows how it works, and so you can quickly see what needs to be changed.
