internal linking automation was fast but too many suggestions needed manual checking.

Yeah, I’ve tried automating keyword research and backlink reporting, but often ended up doing parts manually because the automation was too unreliable. The manual work can still take a few hours each week, especially for checking and cleaning data.

The trap is automating the decision, not the task.

I’d keep the repetitive stuff automated and review the parts that depend on relevance or personalization, then only keep tools that save more time than they create in cleanup.
