I forget who made this argument, but it was in a large-group OODA loop discussion in New York: the higher the VUCA in a large-scale conflict environment, the more virtue ethics is strategically adaptive because it can accumulate a following via imitability.

Think of the heat signatures of the 3 ethical orientations under VUCA Virtue ethics looks like a fixed point Consequentialist ethics looks like orienteering towards a fixed point Deontological ethics looks like inscrutable behavior that needs explanation

This can be seen as different models of leadership, maximizing different eigenvirtues across the moral foundations. Under some levels of VUCA, deontological reinforcement of hierarchy is an effective approach.

the boundaries among the 3 seem blurry, but I liken them to: deontological = agile, consequentialist = waterfall, virtue ethics = wireframes with no indication of how to actually build something under them

What you're suggesting is a bit more meta than that... it's something like agile development of a waterfall plan or something.
