I still think bad scrum is still better than bad anything else. If you have to have a badly managed project, scrum keeps it from going off the rails.
My favorite project was this thing where everyone just chatted non-stop on Slack from morning to 4 AM on all the cool things they wanted to do. Since the conversation was non-stop, everyone just knew how the progress was and what needed to be done and we had almost no meetings, and onboarding was seamless.
It didn't scale though. The managers who kept it running that way eventually left. The conversation just became noise and as the teams grew bigger, nobody knew each other, so they broke off into different cliques.
