I get the feeling that with LLMs in the mix, in-house server management can do a lot more than it used to.

Perhaps it saves some time looking through the docs, but do you really trust an LLM to do the actual work?
Yes, with a lot of reviewing what its doing/asking questions, 100%
Yes and an LLM checks it as well. I am yet to find a sysadmin task that an LLM couldn't solve neatly.
A nice bonus is that sysadmin tasks tend to be light in terms of token usage, that’s very convenient given the increasingly strict usage limits these days.
By this point? Absolutely. They still get stuck in rabbit holes and go down the wrong path sometimes, so it's not fully fire and forget, but if you aren't taking advantage of LLMs to perform generic sysadmin drudgery, you're wasting your time that could be better spent elsewhere.
The internet of 20 years ago was awash with info for running dedicated servers, fragmented and badly-written in places but it was all there. I can absolutely believe LLMs would enable more people to find that knowledge more easily.
