Pretty much yeah.
Look in the thrift store for those 1970s vintage slow cooker cookbooks.
Makes onion soup (you know, onions, salt, water) pretty much fool proof - stir about once an hour.

a few lbs of pork shoulder
some dark beer
some orange juice
paprika
cumin
salt
garlic
jalapenos
cook for like 10 hours
shred it with 2 forks
spread it out onto a sheet and broil it in the oven for a couple minutes so it gets a little crispy on the tips
serve on tortillas with avocado
people will think you are a goddamn mexican wizard

English roast, liquid, random vegetables. Eat as much as you want. Then use remaining slurry as gravy and remaining meat as shredded sandwich stuff. Perhaps even convert to pulled beef BBQ.
Cook for 6-12 hours, eat for a nearly a WEEK.

That's pretty much the procedure for making bread with a fully-automatic bread-maker, except the wait is 5 hours.

Do bread machines cook pot roast decently?
I thought the dough hook thingies kinda screwed up the texture.

It's a meme but one warranted, I once bought a lobster from a street vendor and ended up with food poisoning.

anything a slow cooker can do a cheap non-stick covered pot (even with plastic handles) can do in the oven.
plus you can do some browning of stuff on stove THEN add liquid for slow cook.
and its one less piece of kitchen clutter.

Slow cooker uses less energy; slow cooker has less waste heat output (useful in air conditioning season); slow cooker is readily transportable (useful for potluck style gatherings).
Nothing against an oven. but sometimes having it take all day to cook is a feature… dump stuff in in the morning, dinner is ready at night.

Ovens are nice for the winter when it doubles as a heater, but ovens are awful in the summer for the same reason. My neighbor almost exclusively uses a slow cooker in the summer.
It's also harder to burn stuff in a slow cooker, which is great when leaving it unattended for several hours.

I always wondered about these+pressure cookers. Does an instant pot basically cover all the bases, do I just buy that?

Yes, but… Instant pots seem to universally have computerized controls.
It's still possible to buy older design, dumb technology slow cookers, with an off/low/high power switch… the very same type that has lasted forever (I've seen 40+ year old units that still work great, just have a color that's no longer fashionable).
If you always intend to cook for 3+ hours, just get a slow cooker.
If you might want it to go faster or you might want the fancier controls, then consider the instant pot.
Slow cookers are still great for loading with ingredients in the morning, turning on, and having hot food in the afternoon… but with the schedule of modern life pushing the "workday" from 8 hours up to 12, the computer controls delaying the start time may be desirable.
Also consider something like a hotlogic, where there is a brain (so not just open loop temp control), but it's not too likely to go wrong.

Instant pots have a slow cook setting, so it would cover all the bases. In fact, I ended up getting a second one because they're so versatile, so now I can cook two things at once like chicken or beans in one pot and rice or potatoes in the other.
