How do you handle visual regression testing at scale?

We want to add visual regression tests for our design system components (50+ components) and a few key pages. Tools I've looked at: - **Percy** — polished, CI integration, but expensive at scale (~$400/month for our volume) - **Chromatic** — Storybook-native, great if you're already on Storybook (we're not) - **Playwright's built-in screenshot comparison** — free, but brittle on dynamic content and requires managing baselines ourselves - **BackstopJS** — open source, more setup, but no cost How do you handle baseline management, anti-flakiness for dynamic content (dates, avatars, animations), and reviewing diffs without it becoming a blocker?
