Cascading.

I agree with OP about "bespoke." Isn't a word that specifically refers to tailoring? That's my objection. Let it mean custom-made, in terms of clothing. Not corporate solutions.

I cannot think of another proper word that I dislike more than bespoke. when used, it sees like the speaker is trying too hard to impress others.

I hate it. It sounds pompous and pretentious and a marketing ploy to bilk people out of money

You (or ChatGPT) forgot to include two that happen to be particularly nerve grating - “the ask” and “solutioning” used as a verb (even autocorrect doesn’t like it!).

Not sure the hill was worth the climb on this parody piece.
