Do flows really make sense if your dev team/org primarily uses Apex for automation? Salesforce keeps recommending them but they seem to be a pain to debug/ version control especially when they are interacting with Apex triggers.

In the last year my largest implementations have been completely flow, with need for very little Apex. (Always use where suited)

Similar to Apex, scheme a flow architecture and use a handler per object for before save and after save and leverage sub flows for reusability and organization.

Also leverage the flow list, view function and naming syntax to create easy to navigate lists when you have a large org with 50 + flows

With the flow explorer, and constant updates per release, flows can be very accessible way for powerful automation without relying on a developer

My rule of thumb- if there is a need for trigger on an object, move all the flow logic to trigger. Salesforce is always recommending flows but they publish no guidelines for what to do when you must have a trigger too on the object.
So create flows unless there is a trigger on the object.
