My take is different. I think DevOps was wildly successful, most of our infrastructure is now software that can be managed by Software Engineers. The goal posts have shifted, we now have major software challenges where as before we had hardware and operational challenges.
Well written tools and cross-functional teams that do both operations, feature work and security are still the path forward IMO, we just need to refocus on developer experience.
