I created all of the IAM roles that our 100+ person company uses. It was and is important from a security standpoint that we do not just blindly give too many permissions to employees. I had to do some research to understand what the bare minimum was and it wasn't too difficult to do.
Custom roles created through Terraform helped a lot.

It absolutely is required beyond small 3 person startups. Google is great to get started but when you are dealing with a dozen or more developers, especially at large organizations IAM offers that granular control and overview.
Yes its a bit of a pain having to add policies sometimes when you are first getting started but once it's up and running you can rest easy.
Learning it isn't that much more time consuming or difficult, its just a bit of effort that is all (we are talking a few hours at most).
And telling them to "just learn it" isn't the customer focused mindset, it's the engineering one.
