This problem is mitigated if we assume competent engineering teams on both sides - the away team shouldn’t merge code without proper review of the code by the owner, for one, and the away team should go above and beyond in being diligent about code quality, QA and understanding the codebase to the core before changing it. Thus the away team(s) should consist of the best engineers in the org. That’s my read anyway.

That's definitely not how Amazon works. The most successful engineers there never stay in one place for long. This, plus the perpetual burnout due to things like Away Teams and S-Team goals, means you will instead have a revolving door of talent and fresh hires.
