Totally agree with priort comment.
Filmic is colder, especially the greens, but with an ability to recover blue in overexposed skies (others leave an almost blank sky). With “correct” blue you can always calm down the blue saturation of Filmic.
But for all others cases, for me Agx is the best of the three.

I think agx can do blue skies, too.
filmic: at defaults + autopick + contrast 1.5
agx: scene-referred defaults + autopick
filmic: at defaults + autopick + contrast 1.5
_agx: scene-referred defaults + autopick + contrast 3.5 + pivot picked from the whole image + toe power: 1 (to lift the shadows) + shoulder power 5 (for fluffy clouds):

Hello,
If I may offer my opinion, I have always felt that Filmic was never really finalized. Every year we were treated to a new version, eight in total. On the other hand, it opened up a new way of working.
Personally, I switched from the basic curve to Sigmoid. The arrival of primaries was a wonderful innovation.
Agx gives me excellent results. Despite the large number of sliders, I get the desired result much faster. It saves me from going back and forth with the color balance. Agx also has more contrast in the colors, which is very noticeable in landscapes, especially in shades of green, trees, lawns, etc.
As for blue skies, I’ve found that good exposure at the start of the workflow is essential.
All of this is very subjective, and in any case, we have enough tools to correct minor flaws.
Best regards,
Christian
