I feel you get as much of the tool as you are willing to put into it. I personally abhor the tool and prefer working with engineers who can own full services and applications from end to end. That way the discussions are held at the architectural interface level with the goal in sight always. I have only found JIRA is useful for tracking the implementation tangential TODO items such as monitoring and alerting, extra data validations, UI style items, etc; tasks that other engineers can implement without the need to understand the full scope and architecture of the project.
