I don't have experience with that in particular. I'll share my more general, tangential thoughts.
MVP is minimal. Extending the scope like that makes me very skeptical (towards scoping and the processes).
Everything you are concerned with would be important topics for retrospectives, or even meetings with management. But of course those don't exist or are open in all environments. In my team I could openly raise such concerns.
If you're always rushing to a deadline, or feel like that, think of what you can do and influence to improve that. Retrospectives? Team disuscussions? Partly tuning out of management given focus and doing what you deem important and right? Look for a different team or employer?

Bitcoin mining also risks stressing out the power grid in Texas, a crypto hub in the US where the state’s grid operator has paid Riot more than $31 million in energy credits to curb its electricity use during heatwave-induced demand spikes.

It's clear why the survey is necessary.
Why did they make it an emergency survey in the first place? Is there no "normal" survey alternative?
There are two aspects to being prepared and actionable:
Action knowledge/confidence in knowledge
Not being surprised into freezing/shock
You can lessen your surprise through:
Experience
Practice situations for automatism/intuitive reaction
Consciously playing it in your head
Like playing physical actions in your head before executing them improves how you do them, playing situations through in your head can prepare you/your mind-space for them.
