I loved every single point, except the section on DevOps; however, although I believe I am a very versatile, experienced developer, I love the fact that I can scaffold a prototype application with a continuous deployment pipeline that I can just keep rolling updates out to, and never need to worry about regressions (as long as tests hold), or config issues, or server maintenance, etc.
Basic DevOps introduced a peace of mind that I hadn't known before, by eliminating virtually all the stress that went into a deployment to production servers.

I totally understand this. The truth is that I kinda sorta want to be better at the whole devops side of things. But when I get stuck on something, it's more frustrating than when I get stuck on code. With code, I'm like a bulldog, wanting to fight through it. With devops stuff, when things just won't line up properly, I find myself getting exasperated faster.

But you're absolutely correct that it's valuable knowledge that can give you much peace of mind.
