IMO you need all types. A well-functioning team has people with different strengths that can get pathological when they go too far, and they cover for each other's strengths. The "just do it" high work ethic guys like that are great, but they can sometimes "just do it" in the wrong direction and don't stand back and ask if we should even do these things. "Mr. strategic" can sometimes stand back a bit too much and overthink things, etc.

Totally agreed. I feel like companies are always looking for engineers who can do both, but in reality, a good engineer CAN do both, but they tend to excel and thrive in one or the other.
