SaaS tools here are expensive (but powerful and usually quite focused in the right ways), probably not a bad place to start, then turn to open source tooling.
I agree— back in the day I effectively just built out a few different json templates for services, databases, caches, etc. and just swapped out the identifiers.
Hashboard comes to mind for definitions in code, albeit more BI focused. Evidence has an awesome MDX-based API too.
It's pretty wild the core experience hasn't changed in 10 years; it's almost exactly the same as last time I used deeply.
(I built a PaaS called Shipmunk that auto provisioned dashboards that I hand created for datastores, services, ec. back then so I'm intimately familiar)
Grafana has some nicefies on the alerting front and for metrics monitoring but I like most people would be better suited with a more traditional analytics tool.

Tableau versioning and CI/CD is awful, are there other BI tools that are better on this front?

APM stuff is new tho.
