I never really got the argument against augments (in universe as well as from the writers).
All the humanoids in Star Trek are the result of genetic augmentation anyway.
The whole "eugenic wars" thing always felt like a cop-out because the writers were to afraid to tackle a controversial topic during the actual show and pushed it into the past in a "we already had this discussion" kind of way.

Four Panel meme, on the top left the text "Starfleet: bans augments", on the top right a sad bashir is pictured, on bottom left the text "Progenitors: Oops all augments!", on the bottom right a progenitor is pictured."

I dunno, I haven’t seen a single episode of any Trek show after Voyager. At some point I should check some out but I haven’t felt motivated to.
