Disclaimer: I'm the creator of Appsmith.

The primary reason for creating Appsmith was because, as a backend engineer, I didn't enjoy mucking around with HTML/CSS just to build admin panels. Hence, we created a way to build such apps really quickly.

Appsmith also has a deep integration with Git. This allows you to create feature branches, raise pull requests and have different branches for your staging and prod environments. This also allows you to rollback your application to an older version.

While there are obvious pitfalls of using a low code application, I'd wager that you'd be able to go much further, much more quickly than you initially estimated.
