This kind of tweaking is frowned upon and you will be chastised for doing it.

Yes you can do it (and probably should when you understand the purpose of each Scrummy practice), but don't expect to be praised by Scrummers.

I've had people on my team frown at my tweaking.

I'm extremely happy to discuss the reasons I want to change something, but all to often the only counter-argument is "that isn't Scrum". I'm 100% fine with that, but I'm not going to do something if the only reason for it is religion.

That's nonsense, in my experience. Most people doing Scrum-like development in my experience are much more interested in a development process that works well and produces good results than they are about over-attachment to process.
