Running AI itself is not low effort though, far from it at current efficiency levels it burns way more energy to produce outputs than humans. Setting latest advanced models to think about the problem on your behalf doesn't necessarily make it low effort overall.

Vibe coding is first and foremost moving some of your problems to the AI and that can be suffice even in professional setting where there's a lot of mundane requests, e.g. setting up slack alerts, running simple data transforms or figuring out one-off data analysis. Maintainability is less of an issue on tasks where it can be done from scratch if need be.

If your situation is result-driven and easily verifiable AI-driven solutions are absolutely appropriate.
