For some reason people seem to be conflating two issues. First off you cant judge a movement by the actions of its adherents rather by the actual philosophy it teaches. Does Chassidus preach that one is supposed to daven after the zman? Does Chassidus say that one should eat before davening? Of course not. And those that bring up the Cherem have obviously never read the actual Cherem as its printed.
And let’s not forget that their were many Rebbes who would put any Gadol alive today, such as the Ba’al Hatanyah, Chidushei Rim, Sfas Emes, Divrei Chaim, R’ Tzadok Hacohen etc… All their minhagim were and are based on Halacha.
