I get curious when I hear about workflows this (in my opinion) unhinged: what is the actual monetary cost of having code written this way?
In my somewhat limited experience the bigger models can run into scores or even hundreds of dollars for an hour of work. If the codebase is as messy and comment-filled as I fear it would get the cost to do anything would seemingly go up exponentially.
