For me, this falls into the "those who matter do not mind, those who mind do not matter" philosophy of life.
Anyone who puts down achievements, whether family, friend, or foe, is someone I will be polite to, but may not choose to spend a lot of time around.
ER "productivity" is in the eye of the beholder. Just as many get into trouble trying to "keep up with the Joneses" from a financial viewpoint, many can get into trouble, perhaps from a security/self-image standpoint, trying to meet others "productivity" expectations after achieving FIRE.
