I’ve had success, for example, having them remove pointless, confusing try…except blocks surrounding imports at work.

And you may have introduced some dangerous hidden bug that way, which you may not have doing it manually.

(I'm not saying that makes it not worth it, this is just what the studies are saying. I personally think it's not worth it, but I realize there is some subjectivity here.)

    You act like I can't read some import statements and see if they match the import statements on the other side of the diff lol.

    There was no bug introduced. All the dependencies were required. If any of the imports did error, then that's a bug with that package that got surfaced instead.
