As alternatives to technology, organisations can write custom scripts or programs to work around shortcomings of native tools, or to automate and assist Active Directory 4 management. Do you use custom scripts or programs to work around shortcomings of native Active Directory? Do you see any risks associated with this?

I used to do that all the time. I wrote a large number of command line scripts to simplify network admin tasks. For example, adding a network printer to a workstation took me 15 seconds from the command line. Compare that to navigating through multiple GUI windows.
The only downside was that my boss wasn;t comfortable using the command line and didn't want me to do it. Since I was the only person in the group capable of doing the work I basically just ignored him.
