As chobeat kindly pointed out, nobody is criticizing rationality or reason here. It’s the worship of rationality that I think is deeply problematic.

Examples? Economic models of society. Lesswrong.com. Joscha Bach’s talk.

Rationality is not the answer to life, the universe and everything. (It’s 42.)

I understand that no one is criticizing reason, I just wanted to understand what alternatives were being proposed.
