I wonder if that will change anytime soon, considering that it this
is often the case in continental Europe.

I think the DLR would operate too slowly if fully automatic, as people
would keep holding the doors open. (For safety reasons, you couldn't
force them to close on people - you'd have to work them like a lift).

That aside, are there any automated railways anywhere that don't have
platform edge doors?

Vancouver

Kuala Lumpur (which is the same kit as Vancouver)
Copenhagen.
