The big problem is that sometimes it's "good" at diagnosing issues and sometimes it's very bad and in both cases it looks the same if you don't have a way to know yourself.
I've seen some of the fodder people consider 'well formed playbooks' and it's also a bit of a crapshoot there. It can speed up some tedium, but so many users get in over their heads.
Today had a junior proudly provide an untested playbook that just did everything wrong and even if it did what it purported to do, it would have been hard coded to certain things that are not what we want to do.
