I kind of agree on the pipelines, it's a serious case of over-engineering for very little benefit and many frustrating sessions of debugging kilometers of stack traces under which the actual error was hiding.
However, publishing has always been a dumpster fire for me, from the very first time I've used it (around 2004-2005 IIRC) to 2015 when I stopped working with ATG. Deploying changes never worked reliably, full deployments could take days, if not weeks, and relying on RMI made for a very fragile system anywhere multiple network interfaces were involved.
Nucleus and /dyn/admin are incredible features, not only for development but for having near total control of your application in production. I can't count how many production incidents I've solved with curl and /dyn/admin alone.
