(Disclaimer: I am not really neurodivergent, though I am closer to ADHD and autism than most people)

I would tell the boss about the problems with the green cheese strategy. Maybe not in a large group, depending on the setting. In a 1-on-1 meeting I wpuld tell for sure. But I would also get really miserable if I had to pretend it's all great with the rest of the team while it clearly isn't. I think most people in my profession (software engineering) would run away from bosses who are like that.

Maybe this kind of office politics is ok on a management level, between managers. But good managers shield their team from this kind of cattle manure. At least in software, they do. Otherwise they'll watch the talent leave.
