If the current code is crap there is a reason it ended up like that, and the same forces will be in effect to cause the rewrite to end up in the same state.

Perform a root cause analysis for why the current code is in a bad state and why it doesn’t improve over time.

In my experience, rewrites are most of the time motivated by switching to the latest hyped stack than anything else.

Nobody rewrites anything in the same stack/technology.
