Jira is highly flexible and customizable, almost to a fault. One Jira can look and operate almost totally different to another with enough customization. If Jira feels inflexible and bureaucratic to you, I'd argue that's only a reflection of how your Jira admins operate or the rules they are forced to implement.

Customizable, absolutely to a fault. It is the infinite customizability of a tool targeted towards middle management which is why Jira can go to hell.
It is indeed possible to not be in Jira hell, but inflation of complexity is inevitable and almost entirely irreversible. It encourages and accelerates the path towards bureaucratic hell. Any avoidance of this is a temporary aberration.
