I mean, I run a startup not doing that much worse.
I have 0 accountants (pay CPA yearly for tax work). 0 lawyers. 0 devops. 0 QA. 0 monitoring . 0 HR.
I do have :
3 devs (if I include myself)
3 support (tickets)
2 other supporting roles
If I coded 100% myself (which I have in the past and could in the future, it would just mean less new features) and had a way to not answer tickets (like the OP story it sounds like due to product complexity), I could totally do this alone…
It’s amazing how lean you can be in SaaS if you must. Us bootstrappers know this.

So much if a modern enterprise is bloat.
You have how many DBAs? How many QA? Lol.
