OK, no, there are no silver bullets for Enterprise software, including Logic programming or whatever else. The challenges are human, social and economic, not technical.
By definition ERP software are low trust: they involve multiple groups of people: IT, business teams, software vendor, integrator. Even if you combine all of these into one somehow (in-house software, low code, whatever) there are still multiple teams: today's and +5 years from now when that ERP will still be around.
Low-trust and long-term ROI mean extensive (often excessive) documentation, auditing, specs, testing, etc. Long timelines means much different economics than consumer software: investment is up front and paid off over a long time period, which means risk has to be mitigated up front. Cloud/SaaS has changed that last part a bit, in terms of external costs (software) but not internal (change management, disruption).
Bottom line: ERP is to consumer software what building a bridge or a subway is to building a house: a different beast, done by different people with different tools at different scales.
