What data does the dashboard serve? Could you please post some of it here?

It's not public, but that's why it's a trade off.

Yeah, I won't be broadcasting it publicly, but it would be stupid to spend hundreds of hours properly securing it and wasting countless hours making anyone that wants to access it jump through tons of hoops.

If there is something that starts processing data or is customer facing, then more work goes into securing and engineering it. If an outage would cause significant issues, more work goes into security and engineering. If it processes personal data, then even more work goes into security and engineering.

I'm honestly surprised this is something that most people don't agree with... Do you really advocate using the highest security and redundancy practices for even the smallest of front end projects?

I'm not advocating throwing all common sense out the window and just eval-ing anything and everything, just that a "move fast and break things" ethos has it's place, and can massively increase productivity in places where it's useful, and a "slow and safe" ethos can always be used when needed. Or anything inbetween.
