If your makefile is mostly just simple single commands, there really is no point in moving to magefiles.

The test/lint/build phases of my magefiles are mostly the same as makefiles. What differs is the publish command:

There I can make use of (for example)native AWS libraries to do complex deployment processes with error checking and validation. All this is of course doable with makefiles, but it gets very tedious compared to a "real" programming language.
