We use Docusign (and occasionally Adobe Sign) for multi-client/multi-organization contracts all the time at my job. Docusign essentially acts as an escrow service for signatures. You need to make sure that all of the signers' are set up when you first send out the document for signatures. It doesn't matter whether they're part of a separate Docusign account or not; that just affects how they access the document after it's been signed by all parties.

If you're baking in "batches" of signatures into the PDF so you can do multiple rounds of signatures...you're using it wrong...and quite possibly invalidating the whole point of using Docusign (or a competitor) in the first place since your edited pdf is no longer authentic and wouldn't be admissible in a court.

My comments were from 2019. Paypal acquired Honey in 2020, and MegaLag's "expose" is for their alleged post-acquisition business practices.

I make no claims that their business model remained the same after the acquisition. But on that note: Paypal's acquisition of Honey was vetted by multiple law firms and by regulators in the U.S. and Europe, and even scrutinized by shortsellers. Nobody found anything wrong with Honey's business model or any serious legal risks with what they were doing. Another public company, Rakuten, has since launched a competitor to Honey with the same business model (and some of the same personnel).

Seriously. If Honey was doing something wrong, at the very least the shortsellers would be all over this because they'd be making a killing. This morning, Paypal's stock barely budged (and has actually gone up after-hours now that the market has had time to review MegaLag's "expose"). That should speak volumes to anyone with common sense.
