The answer

Use tools for defined needs, remove duplication, and maintain clear responsibility for each system. A complex stack can create more handoffs and failure points than a small operation needs. Evaluate the complete workflow rather than individual features.

Keep manual alternatives for critical tasks and train the team. Simplicity should preserve necessary controls while reducing unnecessary administration.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
