In my experience, any project with excessive automation and such rules quickly turns into a game of "find how to pass the checks" and you spend the majority of the time fighting the bureaucracy rather than doing useful work.

If your devs don't care about the quality of code they deliver, they'll find a way to deliver whatever crap they've built - even if it takes longer to find a workaround than just write some good code.

CI/CD should not be used to force developers to do things they don't want to do, but to automate some easily repeatable tasks they would still do anyway.
