I would buy the argument but then you say

So while I agree having some Infrastructure as Code trick mitigates (but does not void!) the need for a proper backup strategy, the moment you mention it is a hobby project you reduce the probabiligy of a good, usable, no friction automated deployment existing.

Also, it is worth noticing that lots of people nowadays use Infrastructure as Code which is trapped via vendor lock-in.
