It's kind of already happened.
Maybe it's different many places, but I really doubt it. I'd expect he may get into how network engineers don't know, understand, or care to understand the apps they are chucking into clouds and data centers.
It's always been a developer and a network engineer together, everywhere I have been, to diagnose/resolve issues. The latter because they have keys to the kingdom, mostly, and the former because they know what knobs to turn once inside.

Maybe wonky... Kind of depends on some kind of risk assessment matrix.
We run some postmen against at least one API as a part of the deployment pipe and it happens in every environ. If they don't pass, rolling the deploy back immediately is two clicks.
At the same time, the ingress point is the same, but the traffic is being routed to two sets of servers. The load balancer will know if one doesn't respond and send the request to the other.
To the user, this should be nearly/totally invisible, even if we broke it.
