i don't think the problems with the jedi are unintentional. They're shown to be short-sighted, stagnant, and the source of many of the problems they're trying to solve. I think sometimes that doesn't come across well because jedi are weird and mythical to most characters in Star Wars, so most of what gets said about them comes from Jedi themselves.
The prequels show them getting easily tricked into being military leaders for Palpatine to consolidate power, and then they're rapidly liquidated once they're no longer useful.
