I've never seen this be effective. I worked at a place that had quite a few people leave within a few months, all citing more or less the same issues I did, and still to this day the culture and problems are the same.

The truth is if the problem is management then it's very unlikely any meaningful changes will ever be made.

I agree that it's unlikely. But if nobody says anything, then it's even less likely.

One truism of business is "The higher the management level, the less truth you hear." If you're on your way out (having another offer in hand that you're taking), your downside for telling them the truth is very small. Management might listen. It's unlikely, and even if they do it still won't help you any, but it's still worth the attempt.
