On-call here, but it's mostly because it arrives on a weekend, all I'm required to do is Acknowledge Alerts that are usually false positives, unless some big service disruption occurs

if the alerts are usually false positives you need new alerts!
Yes, but not so simple. Especially when the alerts are caused by 2 systems down the line and aren't owned by our immediate Team. That and the fact that we're migrating to a better thought out architecture which has been 2 years in the making. Slow pace at big corps..
you definitely shouldn’t be on call for alerts managed by another team. a lot of smells in the observability story here, i’d be pushing for an overhaul
