Most the problems described here are just bad software engineering. Never seen a PM with any oversight on which DB is used, how shiny the tech is, how the API works, any of that. It definitely seems like there's a lack of coherence and customer focus, which would be in the PM's wheelhouse to deal with, but that's it. Need a better lead engineer with the time and authority to implement good practices.
