Used to have to argue with my dev team manager about this, he was a big fan of reading about some new-ish concept that we weren't using yet and then trying to tell the team he needs to spend a couple weeks changing everything over to it. I'd be the only one trying to force him to give us a list of "pros" for it over what we currently do and he wouldn't be able to answer, then go off and half-implement it across the system without telling anyone, causing the degradation of our ability to maintain the system (since it's now less consistently written) and wasting his own time.

People need to take best practices with a pinch of salt, and actually think through whether they'll provide any benefit to them in practice for whatever software they're working on.
