I can only speak to my experience as there are some very senior people here whose experience might be different.
What I've experienced is that a large part of the "who and how" of software design is expressly your decision. Obviously, you can ask here. But, quite often decisions like this receive comments during the integration process. Even then, the comments are very deferential to your decision, unless there is something very glaring. BTW, I've always found the team to be welcoming of the help. -brad w.
