Most of my automations use templates. I have template sensors, I use the KNX integration, which must be configured using yaml and the adaptive lighting integration as well. For my dashboard I used many template cards (evaluation of states with templates to set appropriate icons, colours and text), tabbed cards, card mod for css inside yaml for my custom room cards.
You see, it absolutely depends on your requirements and how sophisticated your dashboard is.

This is probably because of the devs behind the integration though and not the fault of HA.
I have my all my cards and dashboards defined through GUI as well, you van make plenty sophisticated interfaces without YAML. A lot of tutorials are probably not up to date with what you can do though and use YAML.
I don’t think you can do something like this without yaml (fully custom mushroom template cards, each button opens a popup with the entities in the room, text formatting and unit conversion, also icons change dynamically depending on state and icons appear for open windows):
