Your premise is flawed. You don't go fixing things that are not broken,
but you also don't wait with fixing things until they are already so broken
that they are "beyond repair".
An infrastructure team can be completely functional without any thought
about manpower, if several people are working on problems and handling
everything all right - today. But if nobody ever pays any attention to how
the team is going to look in a few years time, there's a clear risk of
having problems with that later.
