So you're probably not going to be able to swing getting a project greenlit to test everything on your frontend, partly because your management seems a bit stingy, and partly because it's probably not the best approach to do this kind of thing anyway.
To the claim of that you can't test UI: only if you're not creative enough. Behavior can 100% be tested, and is worthwhile to test, while UI looks can be verified with screenshot tests.
How I would probably approach this would be:
Following these steps should successively put the codebase into a healthier state.
Another perhaps even more valid option would be to look for a better job - working in headwind from management is not recommended, as it will deteriorate your mental health.
Good luck!
