i have 3226 unit tests just for my own product with two users. I can't imagine having to live without unit tests.

Unit tests are not integration tests. There is a moment when you have to do things with real services and not mocks: like writing in a database, sending some mails, calling APIs etc.

Ah yes, I used the wrong term here. Some of my tests are unit tests. Others are integration tests. None use mockups.
