For the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t common practice to simply have the team report strictly to a technical lead with a project manager working under the lead as part of the team but only responsible for keeping tabs on available resources and making schedules work. They should report the current logistical situation to the tech lead so the overarching plan can be adjusted as needed. In my mind the PM is a specialist not a leader.

simple: most places view technical people (coders at least) as someone who is making money when they code. Its in-house outsourcing. Senior devs end up jumping ship when they realize they could make more money consulting. I would tweak your description and convert the PM role to QC / Support.
