If the DevOps "culture shift" didn't solve problems for you, this will not either. You will still have similar problems, now abstracted away into a different team that operate at their own pace. They will also be overbooked, like before, with the difference that now they are serving multiple teams you didn't have to contend with before. They will not share your incentives or priorities for specific features. Their time will still not be taken into account during product planning.
Both the DevOps move, and its current issues, as well as platform engineering are organisational problems. Your organisation needs to be set up around this in order for it to succeed.
Notice that the article paints platform engineering with the same utopia like brush strokes that once painted "DevOps as a culture", only to be mangled in its handling and blamed for the problems that it brought about.
