Hi knolleary, it's has been a long walk from node-red v1 till today.
I can not provide full uses of how we use node-red in production for French Central Banks but I can tell it did help greatly many useless meeting, documentation, workflow and basically remove a lot of business analyst/workflow/process/technical analysis by simply displaying a BOARD of flow.
Usefull we allow a business analyst to display a targetted process by empty boxes + unit tests
Then dev completes boxes until unit-test is validated
Then a isolated flow is created as a module
We still miss production grade system ( JIRA ) , Replay a day and a Multi Flow external monitors for orchestration ( so we developped it ourself )
To avoid messy display, it would be usefull to have multiple layers
Layer for valid flow
Non displayed unit test Layers for validation linked to JIRA or ticketting
Non displayed layer for monitoring messages
Non displayed admin layer for halting/replaying/resume
But overall Node-Red has always been easy way to bypass ETL
