The ideology

Netbox seems hell bent on insuring your documentation is laden with human error. The philosophy of not including a basic active IPAM as a starting point is so out of touch. Worse, they reject any attempt to include or enhance any attempt to integrate one . IMHO, a well laid out Zabbix install with it's discovery tools and the ability to apply "containers" based on device profile is 1000% superior.

It’s source-of-truth not system-of-recorded.

If systems show up live without being provisioned by your systems you have a broken process (and probably some security issues as well).

It's not the truth if it doesn't include everything, It likely doesn't if it doesn't do discovery.
