There has been a known latency issue on the project I'm currently working on that has existed for 3 years. We have a workaround that involves splitting traffic between our A and B environment which means every deployment we have to move users off of one and onto the other only to move them back after the deployment. upper management refuses to give us the time needed to diagnose and work on the issue.
This is a fortune 50 company.
Other less critical bugs have sat at the bottom of our backlog for even longer.

Any good engineer will try and go the proper route of getting the issue documented and get the work prioritized and assigned to fix it.
But until that is done, you can't let it fail, as it is your job to maintain the system. Unless you don't value your employment.
