Bad code doesn’t matter. It’s clearly making money in spite of the bad code. But engineer efficiency matters, especially if it’s blocking the future. So your goal should not be to rewrite anything, but to find ways to increase productivity. You’ll find that when viewed through that lens, some parts of the code and processes will have to change but other parts simply don’t need to be changed (even if it makes you cringe). The better bit though is that you’ll be more aligned with the business, whereas rewriting for the sake of improving bad code is not aligned with the business.
