For much of my career I fell into the incompetent but nice bucket. It turns out it was/is ADHD. I would be very interested in my new job, but after a few months I'd make no progress, have no outdoor and couldn't really put my finger on why. After multiple such jobs I ended up quite depressed, that certainly doesn't help with productivity.

Unfortunately, ADHD is not temporary. Most places will eventually let you go when you don't perform. The article is extremely generous in stating that firing is not the right choice, but for someone who is severely and permanently impaired I don't really know what the solution is either...
