People shit on PMs, but it's genuinely useful to have someone coordinate breaking down a huge project into manageable chunks and keep on people to make sure they get their chunks done.

This. My best achievement were done when there was another person able to articulate goals and constraints in a way I could internalize.

I guess a lot of shit on PMs happens because not every PM is actually doing their job. Asking ‘what's the status’ every morning is surprisingly not enough
