This works pretty well in smaller companies or startups, but corporate culture is usually political enough that it would be a disaster for your career.

Disagree. Anytime you find a problem you should come up with at least two solutions before you bring it to leadership. Managers hate people that only come to them with problems. You're closest to the project and you should be the one to know the situation and possible solutions.

I think many people who believe they were punished for delivering bad news were actually punished for not offering ways to solve the problem. It's easy to simply say, "the project is doomed" and leave the problem in management's lap; much harder to come up with creative ways to rescue a bad situation.
