These changes would be very difficult and time consuming to apply to all environments where application is running if had to done manually.

If your application is running on many environments then some kind of automation for database migrations should be implemented. This will save time and trouble for employees and helps to manage migrations. However it must be understood that it is not a magical tool & should be studied properly so that it's limitations are understood & it will be used properly. Otherwise it might cause problems to the application.
