Difficult to answer. There are a couple of AdvWAF tasks I would only know how to do them via tmsh or bash. Specifically tasks related to troubleshooting and maintenance.

There are other tasks I would only know how to do them via TMUI.

 

I think it is not about commitment to CLI. It is about AdvWAF being a different module than LTM and therefore the CLI is also different.
