I ticked automated assignments on and I always have a lot of vacancies, is it WAD or is it a feature in progress? It’s a bit tiring having to assign new officers every tick as older ones get promoted.

Automatic assignments doesn't promote officers to fill jobs, nor does it assign anyone who doesn't have the appropriate bonus for the position. If you build more military academies you'll have more officers, and thus a higher chance of filling most of the positions. Also, notice that there are always four times as many officers in each rank as there are in the rank above. You can improve your chances of having a ship for all your officers by structuring your fleets correctly. It doesn't need to be exactly four small ships for every larger one though, as the larger ships can use components that add additional crew positions.

You should also be overproducing officers of all types so that 1) You have replacements for any lost to accident, illness or combat, 2) You have an increased chance of having officers with decent bonuses to fill the various positions, 3) You have a pool of officers ready fill positions created by expansion. You should probably also look into the Academy Commandant system, as that allows you to influence what types of officers you get, and even what skills they have, to an extent. If auto-assignment can't fill your roster, you probably need to increase your officer generation, or at least use Commandants to increase the average abilities of the officers you are getting, and likely both

What all is covered by automated assignments? Just ships? Or does it fill admin commands and academies too.

Automated assignments on the commanders window only covers ships and ground troops, just using that check box you'll still need to manually assign your Fleet command leaders, academy leaders, planetary governors, sector leaders etc.
There is a secondary automated assignment system tab now in the economics window that lets you set up colony automated assignment based upon setting 3 priority skills desired for the colony governor and you can then enable automatic assignment of a governor for that colony on a colony by colony basis.... nice addition but later will probably require a fair bit of micromanaging to make changes.

I did notice there is now a separate tab in the economics tab that lets you set up colony automated assignment based upon setting 3 priority skills desired for the colony governor and you can then enable automatic assignment of a governor for that colony on a colony by colony basis.... nice addition but later on does require a fair bit of micromanaging to make changes.
The governor auto assigned will also reassign currently assigned governors - in particular ones that are assigned as commandants are problematic as I kinda don't want them to govern, I need them to teach.
