Oracle is the worst company I've worked for in this regard, and it often seems to me that corporate rule-makers wanted to make our jobs harder here. Here I experience bureaucracy becoming a synonym for stagnation. What are your experiences and how do you deal with unnecessary bureaucracy here?

As an example, Business ops have grown fast in the last couple of years (as opposed to customers facing jobs) and they need to justify their existence.
So what they do is look for things to add into their already complex machinery of rules and processes so that they can at least survive pr better, grow their org (typical bureaucratic behavior).
This trend is i'm afraid unstoppable and its not worth fighting, a complete lost of your time as you will never win since they make the rules (and may change them as they like)
You have only 2 choices, accept it or leave the company.
I suspect that what you think of as bureaucracy, is really incompetence. No one knows the answer to anything so they stall everything. That's really what it is.
You need to get out of the company.
Forgiveness?
If it fails, you’re dead.
If it works, it is their idea, and you’re dead!
Do it anyways, if you don’t, then you really are dead!
Yes, I recommend forgiveness over permission.
Have you not been reading the posts here recently?? Or was none of that obvious enough for you?
Ignore.
Don’t ask permission.
