Gah, I can't believe you're still trying to justify this madness! In a parallel universe, a barely-competent engineer would have designed something more far more obvious, simpler, performant - all while using less hours, and not borderline-fraudulently wasting substantial amounts of your VC's money. If the company 10x's again, it won't be because of poor engineering, it'll be because of marketing and VC's who don't know how you're wasting their money. If the company 0.1x's, it'll likely be because of a security breach because of appalling design.
