To each their own but ours didn't really require more than an hour a month at most. It's not running on cutting Edge hardware but chugs along pretty dependably. The back ups probably take the most time but even then ansible does most of the work and we bump the omnibus version once a month in off hours without issue.
It’s not as much time as it is stress, anxiety, and trauma. Being on call when shit breaks is fucking awful and my best coping strategy to date is refusing to be an infrastructure person and aggressively not giving a fuck when things are down for a day or two.
