I'm no master with donjon, but it does have considerable settings that can be tweaked that can mitigate a lot of the nonsense aspects to the dungeon being generated. The enemy encounters I've seen it spawn are a little wonky to be sure, but any competent DM could substitute them for more appropriate encounters (or use other tools that are better at encounter building). But I do agree, hand crafting will win out any day of the week, it is just a matter of how much time an aspiring DM has to devote to crafting adventures for the party. The rest of the site has a number of other generators too, although none I'd particularly rave about.

You might also find the dnd reddit's resource list useful. There are a number of character sheets/encounter builders/loot generation/etc that could potentially streamline some aspects of the DM's job. I'd never depend on them wholesale, but sometimes you're just not able to give it 100% but still need to run a session.
