The issue highlighted upthread of the potentially astronomical cost of
fixing an automatic if it goes wrong is also a consideration.

True, though if a manual box goes wrong that's also pretty pricey these
days. And some modern autos are closer in design to an H-gate box with
automatic shifters and clutches. Certainly Stagecoach have this type
on most of their newer coaches, as it is more fuel efficient than a
fluid coupling.
