By a lot of work, I mean the work of hunting down the problems when they
are detected by the randomized tests.

Also such test sometimes/usually/mostly exercise the tests themselves
and then require a lot of work to "resist" the randomized tests.

So it is really not just about putting in place randomized testing with
a few config lines. It involves a lot of maintenance work down the line.
