My perspective on this: the ideal job doesn't exist, so you'll never find a job that truly sparks joy (or at least, it's unlikely that you'll find it because it's rare).
On the other hand, it's useful to be critical of your work environment and identify the problems (like what you mentioned: office politics, toxic behaviour) because that tells you when it's time to move on.
In my experience: yes, the result is a lot of bouncing from job to job. That's been my journey because many of the jobs that I found were OK for a while but not worth staying long-term to due their flaws.
Personally I'm a big fan of the following career strategy: change jobs frequently. Leave when you're no longer learning or no longer being chalenged. Company loyalty is dead so we have to adapt to that reality. Eventually you get good at identifying the better workplaces, and better at detecting the red flags of toxic workplaces. On the long run that means you're more likely to find the place for you that sparks joy.
