Absolutely. And not just crazy ideas, but maybe we'll intended ideas that are misaligned with each other or the overall goals and strategic roadmap. Too many autonomous silos that are all high functioning tend to not like a skeptic saying, "this is great in isolation but the sum of these parts don't fit coherently." They also don't like "this works, but it's an MVP at best, and isn't sustainable." Skeptics cognizant of technical debt, may meet unwelcomness in an org not willing to acknowledge it.
