Balajesuri,
Certainly, there are individuals, groups, and organizations - like you - that will work hard to write good clean reusable scripts. And if you are primarily a Python shop then it makes that easier. Most of the time, when I tell people, "Stop Writing Scripts" it's to stop writing shell scripts. There is always a place for higher-level language scripting like Python.
To comment about workflow and workflow automation. I've spent a good part of my career designing and writing automation systems. And that's my primary focus today. I would recommend reading my blog post.
Workflows allow you to work at a higher abstraction layer. It let's a user focus on what they really need to accomplish by providing a great deal of the heavy lifting. It removes the need to understand things like: how can I run this on 10 computers, what if I need elevated privs, should I be logging for auditing purposes. Maybe a visual will help:

Hi there,
I am wondering if I could add start/stop ksh scripts provided by 3rd party to cluster... I read that script must be ocf/lsb compliant, however, in AIX I can just set up two separate scripts for starting and stopping application. Can similar be done under RH Linux cluster?
Cheers,

CCD2ISO(1) User Commands CCD2ISO(1)
NAME
ccd2iso - convert IMG format to ISO format
SYNOPSIS
ccd2iso [FOO.IMG] [BAR.ISO]
DESCRIPTION
ccd2iso converts FOO.IMG to ISO format and writes the result to BAR.ISO. If fewer arguments than expected are given, ccd2iso will print
its help message and quit. If more arguments than expected are given, ccd2iso will silently ignore them and use only the first two argu-
ments.
IMG files are raw-data copies of optical media, generated primarily by the Windows application CloneCD, and are primarily used to store CDs
with odd properties, such as sectors which need to have read errors when read. Conversion to ISO format removes this information, as ISO
format does not support this.
IMG files almost always include a SUB file, which contains additional data for the disc format, and a CCD file, which is a plaintext con-
figuration file describing the disc layout. ccd2iso does not make use of these files, but the applications which generate them expect them
to have the same FOO prefix as the IMG file.
LIMITATIONS
ccd2iso currently only copies the first session of multisession discs, as well as outputting a harmless warning of Unrecognized sector
mode.
ccd2iso utterly ignores the additional data in CCD or SUB files.
