This sounds like a leadership issue.

I personally would either point it out or actually leave the project.

We don't have to accept every shitty job as Software engineers.

Unfortunately it takes time to experience and see those issues and to learn to handle them properly.

I do prefer sustainable development and at least my track record shows that it is paying off: high security, high trust in the system, stress-free oncall etc.

If I can't sit in a beer garden on a nice august afternoon a little bit early because everything is falling in peaces I have done something wrong. Not saying that I'm spending all my time not working just saying to have the freedom to be more flexible in when and how I work.

This does demand pushback to management if someone outside of your team starts to sell things with deadlines without asking you.
