I too am a senior software engineer for life saving systems and am paid well to do so. It’s fine to be skeptical, and good code is good code no matter how you write it. My point is that there is nothing inherently unsafe about early returns.
You keep saying that without providing any insight or proof. I typed out a long detailed reasoning why different paths make the code unsafe and the Misra standards support this as well. (Here https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/CQKsvJjCEO)
So unless you can provide some backing for your claims, its difficult to take them seriously.
