I feel like this but with cloud services (AWS, Azure) instead of Open Source. They have solved most problems, are cost efficient and easily get buy in from upper management. Developers jobs are then to write configuration and plug things together. Very boring stuff!

Good systems are boring, that's kind of the point. Trying to support some fragile web of home-built infrastructure might seem exciting but long-term it's just frustrating and a massive waste of time.
