    Temperature control, likely something to keep track of how much is left in the device, and I’m betting I’m forgetting something.

    I doubt discreet electronics can cut it at that point.

      Yeah, as per the analysis I did in another post, even a 555 and a couple of transistors to just blink an LED is more expensive than putting a microcontroller like this one there.
