I think one of the biggest mistakes of Scrum is the Sprint concept. Artificially carving work into an X-week, immutable window makes no sense. Plan releases for when feature sets reach the level of maturity users and product folks want them. The Sprint approach leads to half-assed features hiding behind a small army of feature flags. At a minimum, if you can’t get rid of sprints, at least change the default 2 weeks into 3 or 4 weeks. Your meeting burden will go down add you’ll actually have time to deliver working features.

Sprints make/made sense in the world of slow deploy cycles, especially for lengthy manual regression testing. If it takes you three weeks to get from a story being done to a story being in production, deciding which sprint a thing goes in is the difference between customers getting it on day n or day n+21. Once that's not a problem you can kind of forget sprints exist.
