It’s certainly the way things will move ahead in the future.
Increasing coverage over a large area is easily achievable with smaller and reasonably inexpensive drones (in the grand scheme of things), deploying their payloads if they are operated in swarms. One pilot/operator could operate multiple drones at any one time.
Getting a CASA issued RePL and UOC is quite easy for anyone who has been around commercial aviation for a while. Most of the UOC applications are being administered by delegates which keeps things pretty easy by virtue of not having to directly deal with CASA, apart from paying administration fees
