I often forget or don't realize that securing budget in many organizations isn't as easy as just saying "I'd like this, please" to a finance team and then getting it. In that respect, I've been really lucky that my last two employers are generous and flexible when it comes to software budgets. But, that's the minority of companies and it's not usually so easy.
It sounds like Fusion is something you'd like to have if budget could get approved. Presuming it's not already a lost cause in your org (sounds like it might be), my best suggestion is to frame the justification in terms of labor hours saved. Fusion does cost money, but only a fraction of the cost of a single FTE, and with enough automations enabled, it can collectively save more than 40 labor hrs/week (and more!) across an organization. I often run "disposable" scenarios in it because it will do something faster and better than I could ever do in the UI. Another argument for it is that many vendors offer customization or professional services to address feature gaps in their software, but those engagements usually start at six figures and go up from there. In that respect, the added expense of Fusion is not that much.
I guess the reason I advocate for it so strongly is I know from experience how challenging being a Workfront admin can be. It can be really tough! So having found a tool that makes my life (and my user's lives) easier, I can't help but to encourage other admins to do the same for themselves. It's like a software robot that you can program yourself and has the speed and accuracy of a computer. Who wouldn't want that kind of assistance in their daily work routine?
If you ever persuade your org to invest in it, I'd love to share some of the scenarios we've written to help kickstart your usage!
