Sensing some sarcasm, but I agree there is some wisdom is "keeping your place." Not very popular to say that these days, but boy I wish I took that advice more as a junior dev. Still need to do that more.
However there is a spectrum, and if it turns from "listen rather than speak" in a respectful, learning sort of mentality to "shut up and do as I say, no questions", then requirements tools are not going to address the real problems.
In my experience, having requirements and processes and tools being used in a mindful way can be wonderful, but all that pales in comparison with the effectiveness of a well-working team. But that's the human factor and the difficult part.
Source: also been working a while. Seen good teams that were very democratic and also good teams that were very top-heavy militaristic (happy people all around in both scenarios).
