Here's the thing, if you look at a basic Spring crud app, you are also using Monads, Monoids, Categories, Traverse, etc. but you aren't expressing it in the type system. Seriously go look at modern Spring's flux stuff, it's all there minus the type classes.
I've seen teams that tried to over engineer Spring, teams that tried to over engineer Node applications, and yes there are teams that over engineer Functional style Scala.
All the teams I worked with (and managed) at Verizon leaned pretty heavily into FP style Scala without much over engineering and the experience was extremely pleasant. The only production issues in my three years there I remember were performance related, finding out how to get more throughput or lower latency out of FP Scala. I literally can't remember any 'bugs' that made it to production.
