I don't like general advice like this, because it's too general. For many, it's probably good advice. For others, not so much.

Anyone who has worked at a small company selling to large B2B SaaS can attest we get like 20 hits a day on a busy day. Most of that is done by one person in one company, who is probably also the only person from said company you've ever talked to.

From that lens, this is all overkill. It's not bad advice, it's just that it will get quoted for scenarios it doesn't apply. Which also apply to K8S, or microservices at large even, and most 'do as I say' tech blogs.
