But if you're working on something so complex that it needs 6 months of heads down time...and you're not getting any technical feedback or advice...is that not

A really good engineer can do 6 months of head-down work without a disaster. A really good engineer does not need technical feedback or advice in that time, as long as the problem is clear enough in the beginning. Here, try this as a though exercise: "Create a new distributed nosql database that uses WASM modules for non-interactive transactions." A really good engineer really, really, doesn't need "technical feedback" during the process to implement that.
