>It's just too fiddly, requiring way more "IT people" running around configuring Samba shares and printer drivers.
IIRC several German states went with nextcloud to make the transition a bit smoother. No idea about the effort when it comes to print servers, but on the other hand Denmark is quite digitized at this point and I would imagine printing papers is less of a thing there than in Germany.

I believe you, but could you elaborate on what's missing?
Fortunately I don't spend a lot of time in either of these but what I did notice was just the UI being more difficult - so UI friction makes a big difference, especially across thousands of users in a government department.
Also lots of minor bugs, like font kerning looked weird, missing features (one cannot expect it to keep up with MS on this, they've got full time highly paid developers working on MS Office every single day), various incompatibilities... some bizarre crashes.
