"We have real mock versions of all our dependencies!" Congratulations, you invented end-to-end testing. "We have yellow flags when the build breaks!" Congratulations! You invented backpressure. Every team has different needs and path dependencies, so settles on a different interpretation of CI/CD and software eng process. Productizing anything in this space is going to be an uphill battle to yank away teams' hard-earned processes. Productizing process is hard but it's been done before! When paired with a LOT of spruiking it can really progress the field. It's how we got the first CI/CD tools (eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CruiseControl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CruiseControl) and testing libraries (eg. pytest) So I wish you luck!
