Aspects are one of those categories of 'too powerful to be considered', or 'return value not worth the cost of troubles it can bring'.

I completely agree with you, saved stuff is normally trivial, nightmare it can bring down the line makes those war stories that are fun to listen to, but certainly not fun to walk through. I simply skip them despite ie Spring offering powerful ways to manage transactions, logging etc. decoupled from places things are actually happening.

I can imagine it working well in a disciplined team who consists of senior folks knowing their craft. Certainly I have never been part of a team with only such composition.
