Is it possible that the ecstatic voice is a little embarrassing for some of us? A little too earnest for our tastes?

The dominant tone today seems to be one of reserved irony."

YES. YES. YES.

But with reservations...

I'm not sure the ecstatic voice necessarily equates with earnestness, more a childlike sense of wonder for me, unmasked by cynicism or irony.
