So is post-processing the camera any different from post-processing by a human?
When is "image quality" good enough rather than being ultimately perfect?

Personally I have no objection to a camera which can - by itself - align and
stack low-light images, or to one which can - by itself - produce near-perfect
panoramas. It not only saves me precious time, but expands my photo opportunities.

Suits me, may not suit you.
