Once you've said it's going to cause horrible problems, and they say do it anyway, and you have a paper trail of this and it's backed up onto your own storage medium, then you just do it and bring popcorn.

Yep, who cares. You put your 2 cent in and if the business leaders see otherwise, that's their problem. You get paid on a schedule, if the app crashes and burns because the leaders demanded to remove PR reviews, that's not your problem.
