Agile was never about being rigid in the process, that's the whole point of Agile to take things that work and make them fit within the context you operate.
All this talk about "this is agile", "this is not agile" seems to indicate dogmatic approaches that are actually an anti-pattern.

exactly :-) it is called Agile in the end right?
and i'd like to mention 2 of the points listed here

  • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  • Responding to change over following a plan that;s why imho being dogmatic is as @rolfstreefkerk explained an antipattern. let's do whatever fosters good communication and helps us moving forward and faster.

Or... How about use a software that let's us use whatever we want, not stick to shitty JIRA that forces use to change the process, because it's so limited? I mean, having the tickets marked as clearly blocked doesn't seem like rigid and dogmatic approach. Saying that you don't need it because JIRA does not support it - does (where using JIRA is a dogma).
