I saw similar to the OP 10 years ago.
I decided to get out of IT for many of the reasons the OP cites and I was a lot happier in my new roles. about 80% pay and about 20% day rate.
I know a lot of people who I worked with back in the day have done the same.
My own opinion is that the industry has slipped somewhat and needs to rebuild from that and that agile is not the answer.Former IPSE member

The writer reflects on the pain caused by the industry's self-imposed doctrines of agile development, MVPs, and POCs, and the lack of regard for quality and the developer experience. The writer criticizes the use of JIRA and the concentration of power in the hands of product owners who lack technical expertise. The malaise of sloppy standards of requirements gathering, system design, and documentation has spread throughout the industry, and the ability to learn from mistakes and refactor is stifled in the name of velocity. The disconnection from end-users and the hiring of inexperienced developers who call themselves "senior" exacerbate the problem. The writer shares a personal experience of working on a project with lax security and hastily added features, abstracted away by JIRA tickets, and wonders why failed projects are not reported in the news.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

There are entire roles where you can just stylise Jira, create tickets and move them around for people....."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
