To be replaced by the problem of claiming that a "conceptualisation of subjective experiences as an emergent characteristic of affect" bears any connection to what our actual subjective experiences actually are.
I am frustrated with the state of some academic philosophy though. The willingness to engage in hard topics without deep formal understanding, the mixed intellectual quality of discourse, the pretense, and the ease by which the community is captured by ideologies indicate crisis.

So I've got to ask, even if you avoid naming names, what areas or schools or approaches to philosophy annoy you? In PhilMind I think that Dennett Frankish Strawson Goff & others make a fair attempt to keep abreast of science.

I agree, they are quite firmly in the "not wrong" category. For instance, I enjoy reading Dennett, but I think that his accomplishments are mostly rebukes of the conceptual or argumentative missteps of other philosophers, while missing the question that these tried to address.
