I run the ML team at a larger unicorn. I fully agree with this. We are multi & hybrid cloud with global SD Wan and everything on CI/CD. There is still a ton of maintenance, patches, deployments, and updates that require us to manually intervene in our otherwise automated systems.

We work closely with Google and they coached us in that direction. Sys Admin skills will always be in demand.
