Imho this is a problem with many DevOps pipelines - we use Azure DevOps and the inability to run the Azure pipeline yaml files locally means I end up just writing all our deployment as PowerShell scripts and the DO pipeline just calls them.
Local deployment is not negotiable.
And I still come back to Spolsky's "Joel Test": there must be 1 command with no extra steps that you run to get running version of the software on your local developer machine.
