Agile is not "it's done when it's done".
Agile is "it makes sense every day of the week, we should talk often".

Looks like you’re talking about Scrum. Ceremonies and story points aren’t in any way mandated by the Agile manifesto.
One of my favorite responses to criticism was Dan Abramov telling people if Redux doesn't work for them, don't use it!
Keep what works for you, leave what doesn't.
Not sure if this is intended to expand on my comment or to be a rebuttal to it, but to be clear: I am in full agreement with you.
My comment strictly refers to many of the articles[0] and comments[1] that push back on the modern incarnation of scrum/agile/whatever. Productivity theater in project management is net harmful to innovation and actual product development velocity, but my point is that we can't go to the other extreme and have no planning or any kind of measurement.
