This is what I try to do, but at the org I work for there's a low key assumption that Devs are too stupid to do anything but what can be implemented in a sprint, no matter the complexity of the problem (which obviously leads to poor engineering outcomes). Teams are criticized when there're no 0-burndowns by people upstairs so everyone adapted by vastly simplifying solutions/work to fit that expectation.

Be careful. Stay at one of these places too long, or work at too many in a row, and you’ll end up so burned out that you won’t be able to even entertain the idea of programming ever again for quite some time. Been there, got the t-shirt.
