It sounds like whomever shaped your teams & responsibilities didn’t take into account the team’s cognitive load. I find it’s often overlooked, especially by those who think agile means “everyone does everything”. The trick is to become agile whilst maintaining a division of responsibilities between teams.

If you look up articles about Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais, they outline a team structure that works for large, distributed systems.
