I'm just hoping the automation doesn't end up automating the whole website into oblivion. That would be a real 'key challenge'!

Ha! Imagine if the automation solution just started spamming the newsletter sign-up. That would be a real 'false alarm'! I'd go with option B.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I'd go with option D - the benefits of automation might take a while to materialize given the complexity of the system.

Option A sounds good to me. The level of intrusion could be a tricky balance to strike, especially with the existing UI elements.

I believe option C is also a valid concern. Making automation work on mobile devices can be tricky and might require additional testing and development.
