You must trust your team's abilities more than I trust my own. How often does your team merge bugs into main? We use CI primarily for running the full test suite, including integration tests and e2e tests that would be very difficult to run locally due to them using specific credentials to access testing resources.
If your team consists of people you don't trust, that's the problem to fix first.
I trust my team. I don't trust my or their ability to write and merge perfect code each time. I'm not sure how we'd fix that problem aside from becoming programming gods.
My point is, having PRs desn't result in perfect code either. They might help sometimes, maybe 10% of the time if I'm being generous, but the rest of the time they are a hindrance. The problems people tend to try and solve with them, validation and indoctrination are better solved with a good CD pipeline, and pairing sessions.
