SAFe is a cancer. It's marketed amazingly and gets the C levels all excited about metrics and other middle management sees burndown charts and other flashy things. But in my experience it's gamified, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach, 2 week sprints complete with all the ceremonies. Nothing ever happens from the retrospectives. Nothing happens if you're delivering more points than your capacity allows. Meanwhile you fear if you don't fill your capacity enough that means you're underutilized. "We don't track points for that reason" - famous last words. Every company I work for has wound up starting out optimistic and trying to drink the koolaid to see it slowly go further away from the original plan, but they don't seem to actually break up with it.
