I fully disagree with you based upon personal experiences.
If I use this circuit it is the only one that will
work for me but I will also try adding the additional
cap you talk about.
There seems to be a 180 deg phase shift occuring at
all freqs above some cutoff
that is applied to the plus terminal the first 90
coming from the feedback and the second 90
coming from the plus minus cap.
It works very well in my place here but i got some
12800 volt power wires only 60 feet away
and i think they may be the sources of my troubles.
The neg lead of the opamp want to be non-changing
effectively creating a phantom ground it is the positive
changes above some cutoff that are being cancelled.
This type of unheard of noise filter seems good up to
very high freqs within the limits of the op amp.

I bet if the caps were big enough you would just have almost DC.

It is funny to realize the distance between one and infinity
and one and zero are essentially the very same thing
when looking at inverses.

I need this circuit.
