I think you should embrace Jira but require that you get the access and permissions you think you need. Jira is not bad, but can be used in many ways, and when you figure out a way that works for you, it will not be a big deal.

Word. Solid advice. When you delegate all the decisions to a person looking at the global maxima at the expense of the local needs of your team you will not be happy with the results. For as long as you delegate this task, you will be unhappy with Jira. As soon as you take an active role, the perspective on Jira tends to change.

It's a good example of how being the change you seek changes your POV on something.
