I haven’t had it turn out well with pure managers either, so I’m not sure how much the distinction helps.

Yeah I don't know - my experience is that a manager's competence is essentially the toss of a coin. The only non-technical manager I've had was great and the only hands-on player-coach manager I've had was terrible so not enough of a sample size to drill down.

Do you mean not an engineer at the same time as a manager, or never an engineer?
