In 25 years in industry, I have never seen estimates proven to be valuable or important, mostly used for dumb purposes, and generally are a waste of time.

At this point I feel Kanban style priorities and limiting work in progress to be only useful approach.

When some product person dumps a huge task in the priorities, break it down into smaller deliverables. No estimates are really needed.
