Sounds like the team picked the wrong tool for the job. If most of your endpoints contain complex backend logic, don't use PostgREST. It's made for CRUD apps, which applies to the majority of applications I come across.

If your app has the occasional custom backend logic, you can spin up a separate server (or edge function) to handle those one-offs endpoints.

I think it started as pretty much crud and then just grew features that were more complex backend logic. But I was the one brought in to fix it, not the original architect - he had left the company at this point so I don’t know the whole history.
