It's really very easy to spend a few hours going through a vibe-coded project by hand and having an agent fix the weird parts. If you do this often enough, you can get the best of both worlds.

Then you're right back on track.

In a way it's not that different from a human-made project. Plenty of teams have to crunch, ignoring the architecture and incurring tech debt, and then come back and fix it later.
