It depends in which direction it's being pushed. Backpressure is a useful signal that propagates the economic cost of a decision closer to the entity that judges its benefits, resulting in more coherent action.
Tossing the hot potato over to just about anyone else is bad.
I've certainly been on teams that are on the other side of this - we're staffed fairly low, and sensitive to toil work because of it, and thus end up pushing things to some other teams to try to help them reduce our toil. Those teams are often much larger, and have just been doing things manually for years for various reasons, and are fine with it. The only thing we can do is try to make it enough of a problem for them that they'll decide to help us out so we're not drowning in work that is normal for them.
