I spend the majority of my career in SCM, not software development. Your comment is absolutely true in my opinion. A good line manager knows what's going on, any KPIs or dashboards just make it easier for a manager to know. Managers rellying on dashboards and reports only to know whats going on in their teams, have always teams oerforming sub par. And they aren't able to answer upper management questions any better.
