This was discussed at one point and it was not added due to issues it had at the time the pack was created. I'm not sure if these issues have been fixed.
I don't think its a matter of issues; there's nothing Progressive Automation does that isn't already covered quite well with other mods; I think that in a more thematic pack it would definitely have a place, but my suspicion is that if it isn't already in there, its unlikely to be added. That said, there's nothing to stop you adding in the mod manually yourself! I rather like PA myself, so I would probably do the same.
IMHO I think you are wrong, there is no low tier automation for growing the crops nor the mining nor the harvesting the wood nor the breeding of animals (EDIT: I didn't find any). Yes, there is forestry farms, yes there is EnderIO farming station but they are later solutions. Which of the option you mentioned allow you ti mine/plant/breed with only wooden tools? I think there is no equivalent mod in FTB:Beyond (and neither other mods for 1.10.2).
Very true, there are no extremely low tier automation options. It might be argued that there isn't much need for them as - unlike skyblock maps where resources are at a premium - in FTB Beyond, its quite straightforward to gather up enough resources for the more expensive farming options.
Yes that could be true reason, but it cannot be so problematic to add one mod which give you a lot of starting possibilities to mass production. I think it gives you much more than it cost. Especially for me (and I think there are similar players) who build his house over the water due to security and this kind of mod would be very helpful - it save a lot of space. For example (when you need to save a space around you base) Forestry farms need minimum area of 3x3 (to 5x5) and have a limited crops types and limited planting area but ProgrAut planter need only 1x1 and have a possibility to upgrade the planting area almost infinitely.

I have a plan to add it individually, but I think it could bring a lot better and faster progression to later techs.
If it keeps crashing why would they add it to a pack? That's one of the important reasons mods are omitted, along with permission from the author...
alsow maybe the FTB team is better in fixing crashes like these u know thats why
