"Once there's real traffic and a team I'll tighten things up."

As someone who has been in this industry for a quarter century: no, you won't.

At least, not before something even worse happens that finally forces you to.

If I felt the need to optimise things like infra setup and config at an early stage of a project, I'd be worried that I'm investing effort into the wrong thing.

Having an LLM churn out infra setup for you seems decidedly worse than the `git push heroku:master` of old, where it was all handled for you. And, frankly, cheaper than however much money the LLM subscription costs in addition to the cloud.
