What makes certain QTE's enjoyable and what makes them fall flat?

Paper Mario doesn't have QTEs.

Maybe not cutscene ones, but they do have button prompts on-screen during gameplay.

a quick time event (QTE) is a method of context-sensitive gameplay in which the player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen prompt

It's not in the spirit of the QTEs that are commonly discussed. You know which button to press in advance, it's always the Jump or Hammer command button for example. The common criticisms or defences of QTEs don't apply.
