Yeah, this PCB is... horrible.
Take a look at Verilog-to-Routing - an educational/research tool that is open-source.

You can simulate using SPICE in KiCad now (ngspice).

KiCad already has an auto-router?

But yeah, parts management is a mess...

Your IP is in more danger when sending your designs to China for cheap fab, but is safer when going with more expensive local options (PCBTrain, for example).

It's all about trust.
