I've definitely been that guy complaining about all the unnecessary friction. What I've learned is that you have to be selective; take note of the flaws when you find them, but put them aside and focus on the things that directly impact current work on your plate. "I'm going to refactor this class in order to add X with less risk" is an easier sell compared to "I'm going to put development on hold while I refactor all the things for some reason."
