Why would you skip unit tests? Especially in the AI age. You can quickly verify your behavior. Also, by not writing them you're also missing out on opportunities to modularize your code.
Obviously, this assumes you write enterprise grade code. YMMV

But still cottage industry of "clean code" is pushing me into self doubts and shame.
I’m not saying that you yourself have this attitude - but the “tests are for suckers, I just ship” crowd really grinds my gears because to me it says “ha! Why do you care about getting things right?”
Totally get where you’re coming from though, sometimes the expected behavior is trivial to verify or (in the case of GUIs) can be very difficult and not worth the effort to implement.
You just contribute to BS scare tactics of people selling “clean code”.
