I just can't get behind a sentiment that amounts to, "Hey guys, stop trying to innovate."

  I literally said to keep trying! 47 years on, most experienced developers seem to agree that SQL is better extended than replaced, but innovations like graph databases and "NoSQL" document stores have been received very well.

    to be fair it does read as sarcasm.

  I can. The churn causes a lot of wheel reinvention, bugs out the ass, security vulnerabilities, dependency hell, and I know others here could go on a rant about something I'm completely missing. We shouldn't stop innovating but we should sure as hell should stop chucking half baked shit into production. One measly example: Cypress. Everyone raves about it in blog posts, some dev immediately downloads it into their project and does a POC and calls it good. Fast forward to mid-late project and you are upgrading, downgrading, refactoring, and spending hours and hours trying to work around the issues. It's a great innovation, but my god. Self-induced stress.
