I'm pretty sure everything in your last paragraph could be done with enough good input (sensors, approach mins, DTED, Digital Wx updates, etc) and the correct application of 1's and 0's. Not really that hard of a problem to solve unless you're operating somewhere very data-austere.

To your first point-and I think you hit it but I wanted to emphasize-some helicopters are hard to fly, some mission sets are more difficult than others; hovering with a 30 knot tailwind in a $32 million dollar aircraft with SCAS and AFCS is still a pain in the ass especially when it's low light and you're on goggles...but I guess the AI wouldn't need to be aided, so call that a win.
