Blockchain ledgers are centralized in so far as that "there is only one" ledger but stored decentralized on many redundant nodes. I don't need to explain that to you Mr. Bitcoin.
So a team having to have "the one fork" they work on together doesn't imply centralized single point of failure storage. Of course blockchain ledgers achieve this at absurdly high bandwidth costs and simplistic consensus algorithms.
Can you take it from there and reduce bandwidth, increase consensus sophistication so that the team's one fork can live on 2 dozen servers like nostr relays and yet be synced well enough to appear as one.
Not an easy task I know but it's the only way forward.
