Comment on Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?

I think you kind of missed the forest for the trees here. Those 20 command lines that run in the background will take the same amount of time to complete each task as manually entering them, sure. But the benefit is that you take less time to overall because I don't care how fast you are with typing, you still have to enter 20 commands instead of just the 4 buttons.

The main reason why I prefer to take the time to write the commands is so I can save a note of what commands I ran to get it working. Being able to say tthese are the commands" is much easier when I'm either helping someone repeat my work or auditing to figure out what I broke

If you’re single lining them all every time then sure, but if it’s a repeatable task then just make an alias for it, and make love of &&.
