as a very junior or entry-level employee it would seem like overkill in most teams
You don't have to start with the senior project manager. Try to find someone who's equally entry-level and been there less than year and talk to them. They'll no doubt be happy to talk and teach you the important things that you actually need to know in your position.

Unless they are jaded from being underpaid or stuck at a position they dislike, which is a very common theme in Eastern Europe and middle East.

Which would definitely be something important worth knowing.
As such it shouldn't matter if they spend their 25 minutes going through the architecture of the build system or ranting about their manager, both will teach you something useful.
