That is certainly the orthodoxy of our times, and yet I am strongly skeptical in this instance. If you adopt an open source CMS the expectation is that the core and plugin dev teams will handle the overwhelming majority of code maintenance work. This leaves your team to focus on maintaining whatever customizations were coded for a particular project. Ergo code cleanliness outside of your own repo should be largely irrelevant to the project budget.

Furthermore, a messy core codebase makes projects harder to complete (as was my experience building custom auth for wordpress).
