My company is doing the dbx thing, and the best I can tell my manager is that I'm neutral on it.

My working theory is that the UI, a low-grade web-based SQL editor and catalog browser, is more integrated that the hodgepodge of tools that we were using before, and people may gain something from that. I've seen similar with in-house tools that collect ad-hoc/reporting/ETL into one app, and one should never underestimate the value that people give to the UI.

But we give up price-performance; the only way it can work is if we shrink the workload. So it's a cleanup of stale pipelines combined with a migration. Chaos in other words.
