Perhaps this could be addressed by providing a Pulumi or Terraform program?
Figuring out issues get more complex, scaling gets more complex, backup and recovery get more complex, now you need monitoring for it all too, and with many services the complexity multiplies.
All of that complexity is somewhat justified for a team that exists to build and operate the system (i.e. SaaS), but doesn't really work for a team who exist to build something else and have just been tasked with operating this.
It is up to you to fend off dozens of small things. Over time that accumulates. It's like python programmers using two dozen pypi dependencies because they've heard nih is bad. Or think nodejs if that's your thing. What you do in practice is you freeze everything in place and then you postpone it all for an increasingly indefinite future. Organizations then periodically need to freeze work for weeks or even months at a time just to keep up with dependencies. This is clearly a lot of work.
Terraform, or even better Ansible, is a good choice to document make those changes over time in a standardized way. But it doesn't make the work go away. The work is there and still has to be done. Those tools also clearly suffers from the same many-moving-parts problem, as soon as you include external modules with their dependencies too, so you have take care not to magnify the problem by accident instead.
This is what system admins and integrators do all day. They will tell you in unison that the best integration is the one that doesn't exist.
