> where code review evolved into huge micro-management with inconsistent requirements on what good code looks like.

In my org this can be somewhat of a problem (different teams have different code style guidelines for long historical reasons which can make cross-team changes tricky).

One thing that helped a lot with this is publishing these guidelines in a central location, but more importantly we also made bots that reviewed every code review to point out common mistakes that people made, so reviewers could focus on the change itself instead of naming/spacing nits.
