Why are wood shops loaded to the rafters with tools? Because there is no Golden Hammer, only people who think they’ve found one.
You’re saying you’re doubling down on a single solution, which is probably not actually true, but you are surrounded by younger developers who will copy what you seem to be doing rather than what you’re actually doing.
All of these unresolved arguments are about team dynamics, not technology, which is why they never get resolved. Because we talk about our experiences or “objective” things like logic.

No, it's definitely about technology. Let me simplify this for you. Technology A can do thing 1 very well, and thing 2 decently. Technology B can do thing 2 well, but can't do thing 1 at all.
In reality, people who only do technology B claim technology B is necessary to do thing 2 and go to great extents to write blog posts claiming such, while people who only do technology A get on with doing things 1 and 2 without feeling the need to rant.
Yeah that’s not a technology problem, that’s an ego problem.
