I won't read the article now, but

arguing that true productivity lies in team performance, not individual brilliance

this is bullshit, a categorical statement.

There are good processes and there are bad processes. Good processes are usually functional for people of (sensibly) different mindsets and mental conditions. Bad processes are usually "one size fits all" in one way or another.

There are things a team can't have, and there are things a talented individual can't have.

There's also experience that covers holes one can't plan for, yep.
