I found the opposite. People with simple utilitarian resumes tended to have more actual accomplishments, while people who focused on what their résumé looked like tended to have glaring issues they where trying to hide.

Though I suspect this varies quite a bit by role.

Have worked at big SV companies where HR is forwarding the text paste of the resume with no corrected format. I would never tell someone not to make their resume look polished, but I have definitely seen people get lucrative jobs with a jumbled mess.
