I've tried to shift the teams I work on to be more kanban style, with no set sprints, which works much better for continuous incoming work teams. Once someone picks up a task they don't stop until it's done or blocked. No interruptions. Continous backlog priority, next task is plucked off the top.

This lasts until management comes in with "drop everything you're doing and do this immediately" then it's lost forever. Once you change the to do list mid sprint everyone will use that to bully you into doing it again.
Everything breaks down from there.

Having gone through Scrum training one of the first things I recognized is that nobody follows Scrum.
One of the mandatory tenets of Scrum and Agile is that when you lock in the sprint list you *do not* accept new work.
"Oh but this other team needs-"
Then it should have been planned. Nope.

Minor nitpick, for centuries this isn't what a cathedral would look like. The gilding and adornments of fancy materials happened in the 1800s with a wave of remodeling.
A peasant in the 1000s would have gotten something with more bare stone. Still plenty awe-inspiring
