I agree with you. I am not recommending it. It has all the problems you mentioned. I wanted to share that out there there are some decent companies doing this and it works for them / it does not need to be a red flag.

I've even been in teams that didn't use version control and things worked out fine. But frankly, I'd rather not be in a team without version control, and I don't think many would fault me for discouraging others from joining such teams. There's a limited amount of time I have on this Earth, and the less time my brain spends on managing unnecessary complexity, the more time it has to do more useful things. I haven't found a team that's perfect, so there are always some compromises. I treat them as temporary compromises, though. Just because I put up with weird X behavior in a prior job and it worked out doesn't mean I should/would put up with it in future jobs.
