So, does your team then spend considerable amount of time writing boilerplate/chore code? Isn't that a sign of: "Hey, we actually need to improve our code base guys!". I don't know, if your solution to "I don't want to write chore code" is "let's use Copilot to do the boring stuff"... well, I have bad news for you: "chore code" needs to be maintained and/or fixed, and I don't think Copilot maintains code (for now... :D)

you can't get around it. We have pretty low boilerplate in all the codebases I happen to manage but the sad part is there is no getting around porting of specific rules, setting up better metric analysis and reporting systems and such.
If you have been involved in programming professionally for a while, you would know you just can't get around the chore like works sometimes. Ofc it's not a long term goal to keep going this way but we needed a solution to simplify our challenges as we move on.
