Seth Milchick is one of Severance's "most important characters" according to the showrunner, but originally he was a bit part until Tramell Tillman showed up
I mean it is a piece of entertainment, not a documentary or scientific experience (both of which are also subject to performing towards people’s preferences anyway).
You’d prefer that the Sci fi about having a switch that can turn you into multiple people based on a religious cult in a universe which is both simultaneously more advanced but uses older aesthetics than ours be more realistic to how normal offices work?

Yes, that is literally the core concept of the show.
The severing technology and Lumon itself are the two things about the world that drive it’s difference from ours. Nothing they’ve established in their world building would explain why the C&M department would be that large, when literally every other department is extremely minimal, and C&M has played no role in any previous celebrations.
They have a giant underground museum that is used to reward employees with waffles and sex, and an indoor field to raise goats for ritual sacrifice, the marching band is probably cheaper and easier to organize than either, let alone both.
Everything about Lumon staffing has been minimal though. The staff in every department feel too small for the size of the space they’re in.
Just like from a managerial and reporting standpoint, how many direct managers does the marching band department have? How many elevators to they take to get to their department every day?
And why are they all equally as primed to revolt as MDR? They could easily have just sat in front of the vending machine and blocked it, why did they let Milchick knock it over unless they wanted an excuse to physically harm him?
