If it's overcomplicating and has poor explanations this seems like a harness/prompting issue?
Fable is very steerable. For me it makes the "simplest thing that works" and - once I tuned it - very understandable explanations. (Unsteered, I agree that Fable's writing style is too cryptic.)
I can let it loose on a 12+ hour task and it will test and verify everything autonomously. These days most of my work is done by letting Fable just run overnight, while my days consist of meetings/planning to figure out what I want Fable to build next.
