Here are quick answers to your questions. I hope others will share their thoughts.

<< What do you think: Can tech professionals effectively resist corporate colonization of public services? >>

Can they? Probably. However, look at the personal costs to them!

<< How can we protect critical government infrastructure from being dismantled by billionaire vanity projects? >>

We cannot at the moment. We must first get rid of the ReThuglican majorities in Congress. However, the GOP have long engaged in purging voter lists and gerrymandering. The problem is that even though they KNOW what Trump and Musk are doing, they will not lift a finger to stop it. Moreover, the ReThuglicans have control of both the courts and the media. They are also most adept at "cashing in" on issues like "the border" (or "illegal immigrants"). The Dems, for their part, run horrible candidates and inept campaigns, and if things don't shape up in a hurry, our de facto techno-fascist dictatorship will become a de jure coup.

They do not run nations. They only plunder and destroy them.
