Depends entirely on where you work. In any place with 4+ layers of management it sounds like a reasonably good idea.
You want to be seen as doing your best for the project, but not sticking your head out more than is reasonable.
The project will fail, but you’ll be remembered as the one that almost made it succeed, and you’ll have more political capital to make the changes you desire going forward.
Conversely, if you keep hammering at something when it is clear everyone doesn’t believe you or doesn’t share the same values, you are just making everyone hate you. Even if the project does somehow succeed.
