A team that’s doing everything wrong is an opportunity to deliver a lot of value, if you can help them. But helping them is a people problem, and people problems are much harder (for me, at least) than technical problems.
A team that’s doing everything right looks like a pleasure to work with, but your potential value to them is lower. You won’t be able to help them as much, because they don’t have as far to go. But you’re probably more likely to succeed, as a team, in solving the technical problems in front of you.
