Does design need a DKM*?

In 2020 we ran some very interesting consulting projects with our German OEM clients. It’s been the right time during the pandemic-crisis to challenge existing procedures and optimize them at their core. Amongst others one highly controversial discussion came up on the topic DKM*.
I’d be interested to catch the design community’s view on this delicate topic and draw a structred overall picture - with probably very diverse views!
* (DKM = Daten Kontroll Modell; a high-precision model, fabricated full-scale with assembled parts in dense-foams, aluminum or other materials in the last mile of a serial design process. Special: a DKM is supposed to represent the digital design-status at 100%, so it gets careful or even no treatment to avoid the hazard of any deviation from its origin) compare: data check model / data reference model / verification model
