I feel like if you treat temporary variables as documentation they feel less icky. All these examples with the pipeline operator cause way more mental overhead than reading temporary variable names.

I think it really depends on what operations you are applying. Having one succinct named variable like $slug with a few simple pipeline calls like in the example is "self-documenting" and easy to read. However, some lambdas and non-standard function are definitely a place for nicely named temporary variables in my opinion.

Kind of a clunky and verbose syntax at the moment. I wonder what languages get pipe syntax right?
Obligatory: Raku supports pipe in both directions, passing input as the last parameter instead of requiring the function to take only one parameter. It also has a shorthand:
my @array = ; my @final-array = @array.unique.sort.reverse; say @final-array;

There is a complementary Partial Function Application RFC which, among other things, solves the one-parameter limitation. It allows a question mark to be substituted in for the piped value:
$foo |> str_replace('hello', 'hi', ?);
