I don't think you need "super engineers" either. They just should have made it through their first mistakes on someone else's money. If your founding team is not technical, it's important that one of them has seen the problems that will come up in your first 5 years.
No matter what you do, you will make wrong decisions and need to fix things once you need to scale. That's the way of startups. However, you also need to prevent the high level footguns such as OWASP top 10 and exponential algorithms with minimal supervision.
