When I manage teams, I love having productive and self-motivated people like yourself on the team. As long as you are able to complete the scheduled and required tasks, if by being light-touch with process, you are motivated to contribute above and beyond, the whole team reaps dividends. I have seen such members contribute great tooling upgrades, features to reduce administrative overhead, automation mechanisms, and even delightful user-facing features. In my opinion, processes are designed to resolve or prevent dysfunction. An extra-productive team member that completes assigned tasks and adds in some of their own creativity on top is generally not a source of dysfunction, so I prefer to encumber such people with as little process as feasible. I for one love engaged productive developers who deliver bonus features of the sort I mentioned above and I find over-processing curtails those bonuses.
