Boring tech is subjective, it depends on the team. A tool for the job needs to be in right hands to be right. Some may be fine with 1 hour after hours deployment, some may want a fully automated CD pipeline.

Nope, boring technology implies mature and tried enough ecosystem where the users community found out and know almost every failure scenario. Your team skills are not relevant in this definition, if a tech is "new" and "exciting".

Indeed, team's experience is not relevant in the definition, however it's the main criteria to choose a [boring] tech, after the cost of course.

To use/apply any tech or workflow depends on execution.
