I use a similar pattern but without the subagents. I get good results with it. I review and hand edit "research" and plans. I follow up and hand edit code changes. It makes me faster, especially in unfamiliar codebases.
But the write up troubles me. If I'm reading correctly, he did 1 bugfix (approved and merged) and then 2 larger PRs (1 merged, 1 still in draft over a month later). That's an insanely small sample size to draw conclusions from.
How can you talk like you've just proven the workflow works "for brownfield codebases"? You proved it worked for 2/3 tasks in 2 codebases, one failure (we can't say it works until the code is shipped IMO).
