You should be concerned. The whole thing about safety critical kit is
that it should be conservatively designed, with all parts running well
within their ratings. If the hw bod is happy with a regulator running
at 70c, he must be clueless. Sorry, but it needs to be said.

If you care about your professional career and any litigation
issues, you should either have enough influence on the project
direction to stop design errors like that, or just walk away from it...
