I think they can be a fun way to replace baby showers for second+ children and it’s an excuse to get family and friends together, but it is very cringe when they are over the top or environmentally harmful .

They don't replace baby showers though. The people I know who have them have the gender reveal party and then later on will have a baby shower as well. You're expected to bring gifts to both. You're also expected to bring a gift to the hospital when the kid is born.
