I recently tried to implement a workflow automation using similar frameworks that were playwright or puppeteer based. My goal was to log into a bunch of vendor backends and extract values for reporting (no APIs available). What stopped me entirely were websites that implemented an invisible captcha. They can detect a playwright instance by how it interacts with the DOM. Pretty frustrating, but I can totally see this becoming a standard as crawling and scraping is getting out of control.
