You missed the point entirely.
The goal is not to need on call, because you BOTH have a stable system that requires rare off hours interventions, AND you have a team that owns that and is bothered rarely enough to not need to have a formal rotation.
On call systems with stable systems in my experience tend to be a real problem because people lose the on call urgency anyway.
TL;DR - the problem is your system, not being on call or not.
