I shoot raw jpeg on fuji and basically never edit. The workflow friction is high enough to cause month or more delay between taking and sharing pictures. Plus I find it tedious and boring.
All I do when I shoot on camera is plug it into my laptop or PC and immediately upload the good jpegs to Google photos. From there I can download on phone and reupload to wherever (not Instagram, I don't care about it).
I have plans to put a section on my website for my favorite photos.
So no I don't find x workflow to require a commitment to process. It's only slightly harder than just shooting on the phone.
I disagree with others saying phone is good enough. Lens characteristics (shooting aperture priority to choose depth of field) alone is a good enough differentiator for me to justify carrying a camera.
Luckily there are very portable solutions for those that want better than phone without dropping 2k and 500 on camera and lens. Old Fuji mirrorless are all basically phenomenal and only miss out by having lower rez sensor, slower autofocus, and maybe missing one or two film sims. I shot on an xe2 with the f2 23mm for years to great effect. I hear and see great things coming from Ricoh as well which is point and shoot and very portable, not sure price though.
I think phones take phenomenal pictures but their sensors and lenses are quite tiny.
