"Luxury goods" can be and are automated. Lockgate systems and animals are outdated now. Drone's newer generation, I believe. Four wheelers are used. These are all forms of automation vs running down a non-domesticated (cows..) beast.
It's quite amazing how much technology can improve processes.

Energy is the fundamental requirement to generate food. Everything loves eating sugars for energy which are easily created with photosynthesis (light energy) and some water easily enough, oh, and some lovely carbon floating around.
Feeding some microbes some sugars seems like a cool thing to do; eating those microbes that taste like meat (because they're custom grown meat cells) is kinda exciting too. If we can do it cheaper, I don't see the concern with hooking it up to a big ol' nuclear reactor and scaling that out. Cheaper food for all; and can be higher quality than naturally produced (random-chance).
Tbf, cells always have the chance of mutation, unless we CRISPR that out too. Make DNA lossless (and effectively never get cancer again).
