What makes you think it falls flat in a team setting? There are plenty of N-pizza-sized teams successfully using Lisp to this day and you're probably aware of many teams successfully using Lisp in the past, too. There's also the success of Clojure. What's required to have a well functioning team is mostly programming language independent; Lisp itself won't save a team lacking those properties anymore than say Java would.
Did you even read what I said or who I responded to? I am specifically talking about working inside an image, monkey patching functions and structures live in the running image. A practice almost no one uses anymore and of which I said that as a single dev on a project I use and find convenient, but I would not want to use it in a team; for that, modern workflows with versioning, beaming code, ci/cd, dev containers etc are preferred.
I prefer lisp over most other things in life, and so does my team. I was specifically not talking about the language though.
