I've actually used OP's system in way higher traffic environments and was happy to read I was not alone. Sometimes all you need are simple tools and if git pull/ssh covers your basis, what's the big deal.

How actual software delivery is done is a relative term to the systems/needs and the scale you have. You probably have not been in environments where build/deploy tools are over engineered to death, to the point where adjusting it one bit brings down the entire delivery to a halt. If you were able to set those up without such issues, kudos to you.

I think what happens is some engineers invest so much of their professional identity in their Docker/K8s/Jenkins/AWS lifestyle that anything less is seen as dirty or inferior. The irony is that many of them are too young to remember the rationale for these tools when they were released, namely the management of massive fleets of servers by huge corporations. You see the same thing with the inappropriate use of React in the most minimally dynamic websites.

I normally would not want to comment short "I Agree"s. But this is music in my ears.
