I think you misunderstand what problem Kamal is trying to solve.
It seems like you have server you’ve setup by hand, you deploy using Cap ( basically SSH ) to that one server and you habitually hack around in production.
Needless to say, a build and deployment pipeline is not for you and will seem rigid and slow.
Kamal is a build and deployment pipeline and like any such pipeline enforces a particular process. If you buy into that process it will achieve a more seamless (reproducible) deployment across a server federation. You just can’t do that with Cap reliably.
I personally use Nix with Cachix ( with a remote build machine ) and while I think my solution is better than Kamal you would find it just as rigid as Kamal.
