Anyone that's done larger scale project management knows that it doesn't fall into agile or waterfall. You may use waterfall for the larger plan, and agile to track individual projects in that plan. Like when people talk about tactics vs strategy. I think this use of personal OKRs might work for some people and might be a great tool for focus. This feels like a technique to manage individual projects, in that analogy. However, I think it would be very easy to find yourself over-quantifying your life and find yourself feeling adrift even though you're succeeding on the numbers. One thing that is very powerful about the regret minimization framework (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlgkfOr_GLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlgkfOr_GLY - Bezos, famously) is that if forcing you to think about what you want to accomplish with your life and what makes you truly satisfied. If you know those, then quantifying your progress towards those goals makes sense. If you don't, then it's probably premature to have OKRs. OKRs measure progress towards a larger goal. Don't forget the lesson of The Hitchhiker's Guide, and make sure that you are working towards good goals first.
