I’ve had exactly the same issues but because I couldn’t change anything without getting approval from 16.5 code owners on every PR submitted. It’s a real pain if you start modifying your coding for ‘least code owners hit’ instead of ‘best architecture’.

I like how my workplace does it -- there are rigorous codeowners and usually you only need approval from 1-2. if you do need approval from 5+, you can request a select 'super' codeowner review which will approve it for all.
