I reckon most professional pilots would scoff at the idea (perhaps rightly so) .... but I'm actually in your camp!
The concept of automatic flight is brilliantly modelled in many MSFS add ons (not the default aircraft but there are many sophisticated add ons requiring full procedure / set up with FMC etc). In fact some claim to be used by airlines as a training resource (never sure if this is correct or not).
I would think someone with a PPL and some level of understanding of the aircraft type and the automatics at your disposal would stand a fighting chance of getting an autoland, more so if being talked through the procedure.
Hand flying - probably not.
