Over-hyped - I still don't think so. Due to life happening, at a young age I've always had lower back pain. Sitting down in an office chair never helped either. I researched Embody and decided to pull the trigger on it seven years ago. After adjusting I've never felt back pain sitting down, at least not in this chair. I used to work at an office and sat in multiple chairs depending which office/conference room I was visiting and every chair made my back eventually hurt. A lot of these chairs were very expensive as well. Plenty of online reviews comparing chairs, mostly all reviewers agree Embody chair is great.
I work from home now, and the only thing I would like to have on my Embody is a headrest. Luckily "Atlas Headrests" have made a headrest for it. I'm just waiting for mine to eventually ship.
Would I buy an Embody again? Yes. Would I wait for a bigger sale before buying one? Maybe
Herman Miller isn't the only bad guy here when it comes to over inflating cost, Steel Case has done the very same thing. The Haworth Fern does seem like an interesting option.

"Your refund will be reduced by a restocking charge equal to 10% of the total purchase price not to exceed $500 per item."
I tried out a bunch of ergonomic office chairs like the HM Aeron and Embody and Steelcase Gesture and Leap. I found the Leap the most comfortable but a new one is incredibly expensive at $1320.
My advice:
1. Stay away from Madison chairs. They are cheap but not what they say they are.
2. These are expensive chairs for a reason. They are built to last around 20 years.
3. They are super comfortable once you get used to them. They are not for everyone.
Finally, as I understand it, these gaming versions of the regular HM chairs are actually downgrades and an attempt at marketing to gamers. It is known that most gaming chairs are not very good for your back, so they marketed cheaper versions of their chairs to gamers as better alternatives to normal gaming chairs. Good luck finding what you're looking for.
I was able to solve both of these by slapping a big square of 2" thick Latex from a retired mattress topper on the Fern. It raises me position enough to get some semblance of sacrum support and cushion the glutes nicely.
