TBH there are plenty manufacturing plants with all their safety papers and
certifications in order that seem to me to be running on 3rd world standards.

There are lots of things that are not recognized as valid ways of doing things
according to the letter of reglaments and still engineers have been doing them
for decades for great effect.

I mean, when I was doing subjects related to structure engineering at college,
we would get our Technical Edification Code books and the teacher would have us
rip chapters out because those would get people killed.

The real ticket is knowing what you are doing and testing it - because
sometimes you think you know more than you do and stuff crashes. This is, there
has to be some procedure. That does not mean that official certifications are
the best procedure, IMO. THey are just the ones that cover your ass, because if
you build something using an official standard and it crashes, they can't sue
you so easily because it is all 100% legal.

IMO it is fine to let people try dangeour stuff if they like. Even in the worst
case scenario, society learns something. If your submarine gets smashed we
already know of a way not to build submarines anymore.
