I'd say its a real problem when people hide behind ineffability and the inability of discursive reasoning to arrive at any valid correspondence theory of truth or reality. Its lazy and what it effectively entails is not a transcendence of conceptualization but a stagnation and reinforcement of current habituated thought patterns. In terms of the Zen metaphor about the man who uses the boat to cross the river but once hes reached the other side he leaves the boat behind, people are ditching the boat when they've hardly made any progress. One of the many problems with Zen enthusiasts in the West is they are often so far removed from the context which allows that school to work; like you don't even belong to a Sangha or have a teacher but you're gonna disregard all the Sutras because "kill le buddhaXD"? Those people are closer to the mere scholastic tinkerers than they'd ever want to admit.

Philosophy is Upaya, so its okay to think about things.

What are the tenants of mindfulness, exactly? How is the vaguery that it presents superior to science without actually positing anything.

That one is more aware. Of what?

Buddhism is traditional, fun. Hinduism, sure, same vein. Eastern philosophy and art, all well and good. Don't pretend that mixing it all in a vat without making a claim from any of it makes the position more defensible, simply because it has nothing to attack. Because it is nothing.

Depth without content is indistinguishable from superficiality.
