It sounds like your are doubting yourself. If you have good instincts then trust your intuition (our subconcious is often remarkable perceptive - if we can avoid the associated pitfalls). People that are good at helping you correctly follow your own intuitions can come from any domain - they don't need experience of your situation to help you understand yourself. Engineering is often undervalued. In my extremely limited experience there wasn't much I could do about it (non-similar but adjacent situation) - only you can care enough. Technical owners with a controlling interest are exceptional. Fighting using legal/political/underhanded can be a risky/costly game. Hopefully you can find someone to talk directly with. It is best to grok the experiences of others first-hand. Published dirty laundry is complicated. I wish you good luck and good skills.
