Well, if the kmod breaks, the akmod almost certainly breaks too, the same
way, you just don't notice it (at least until the end user bug reports start
coming in). That is another reason why the akmod approach is flawed.
So, sure, there is work that cannot be automated, but that is exactly the
part of the work that has to be done for akmods as well, and an automated
kmod build process would automatically alert you as soon as the kernel gets
released. (Ideally, as soon as it gets built in Fedora Koji, or at least as
soon as it hits updates-testing, whereas most users will only notice the
akmod breaking after it hits the stable updates.)
