I think we are past the peak of Scrum.
IMHO Scrum was a prescription of how to be agile because being agile is a kind if philosophy and it is hard to make it work quickly without huge investment in the growth of each individual.
Its main lets say purpose (not by its creators) was to disrupt Waterfall at scale and it managed to do that no matter if it works or not.
But while Scrum worked well for the innovators adopting it it does not work at scale (nor does Safe or any other framework trying to fix it by adding more processes and roles). Actually most implementations of Scrum at scale are anti-agile, are rigid and products and teams will collapse (productivity wise) if tomorrow someone takes scrum out. Because they are trained to follow Scrum not to be agile.
Agile means thriving in a fragile environment and Scrum does not teach people that.
There are some new frameworks in the making. Solving some of the issues we encounter now but it is hard to predict which one will win if any.
I for example really like Shape Up. I feel it allows teams to be agile while not being so focused on daily work.
