The problem with the 10x engineer myth is that there is no baseline to what an engineer is, as much as there is no baseline for what a human is.
Any tool can be shown to increase performance in closed conditions and within specific environments, but when you try to generalize things do not behave consistently.
Regardless, I would always argue that trying new tech / tools / workflows is always better than being stiff in your ways, regardless of the productivity results. I do like holding up on new things until things mature down a bit before trying though.
