I am part of one such team. We were using Windows Task Scheduler on a windows VM to run jobs, we figured it would be a nice idea to (dramatically) modernise and move to airflow, but we grossly underestimated the complexity, learning curve, and surrounding tools it requires. In the end we (data science team) didn't get a single production task up and running. The data engineers had much more success with it thought, probably because they dedicated much more time to it.

Will look forward to trying AWS Step Functions.
