I saw this over-engineering coming in the transition from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, and as such I held my company on Drupal 6. Drupal 6 is a significantly slimmed down environment, which can be used like a scaffold to build custom apps. There is not a hell of a lot there, so the complexity is minimized. But it's still not testable, and still pretty opaque for debugging purposes. I'm moving off Drupal, to the "Doh" framework that hosts other frameworks, and you define the interface you want to the "other" frameworks, forcing the logic pattern you want to use upon frameworks that may not support it.
