It would be very helpful to have a geoprocessing tool for publishing and overwriting services in portal and arcgis online. It is possible to manually create one using this method, however not everyone has the time or knowledge necessary to make it up. This would be a helpful solution to esri's no/low code options. It would allow users to quickly automate the update of online data using modelbuilder.

Good idea Matthew!  I tackled the problem recently too:

Hi @MatthewBeal,

Thank you for taking the time to post this idea. Our teams have previously decided that supporting the ability to publish and overwrite web layers in a system geoprocessing tool would be technically infeasible. Please see this post for more information.

Because of this, our hope was that the blog article would give users a head start on automating their sharing workflows, regardless of their familiarity with Python. If you have any feedback on how to improve the content in the blog or help documentation, we would love to hear it. 

Best,

Jonah
