TLDR provided by ChatGPT:

As software development grows more complex, the devops approach, which merges software development and IT operations roles, is under scrutiny. Although devops has sped up updates and tightened feedback loops, it's often overburdening individuals by blurring developer and operator roles. Developers have voiced reluctance to handle operations, citing the specialized skills needed. The potential solutions include realigning responsibilities to empower developers with timely information, using container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to separate developer and operator concerns, and expanding the roles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. The future of software development may require a blend of devops, SRE, and platform engineering to effectively address the growing complexity.

My target environment is small and specific enough. I value having control and opportunity greatly. I would hate to have barriers to deployment, analysis, changes.

If it exceeds the complexity or workload of where it makes sense, it probably makes more sense as a team collaboration rather than separating devs from ops "again".

Was DevOps about shifting the responsibility to developers? I thought DevOps is more about automation which is a good thing

The DevOps I do is definitely empowering me. I would hate to have a separate admin I have to request stuff from and depend on.
