Hmmm, I'm a bit confused of their conclusions (encouraging use) given some of the really damning caveats they point out. A tool they themselves determine to need such careful oversight probably just shouldn't be used near prod at all.

For the same quality and quantity output, if the cost of using LLMs + the cost of careful oversight is less than the cost of not using LLMs then the rational choice is to use them.

Naturally this doesn’t factor in things like human obsolescence, motivation and self-worth.

And it doesn't factor seniority/experience. What's good for a senior developer is not necessarily same for a beginner
