My opinion: don't sweat it, either way. I know that's easy to say from the outside, but it's still true. Do what you are most comfortable with. It sounds like you have plenty of ammunition if you want to put your foot down & insist on quality practices. Reject PRs that don't meet best practices, and point to the internal docs you have. If the dev reacts angrily, blame the company & say you are worried about getting in trouble.
Or if confrontation makes you more uncomfortable, just let it slide. If the shit hits the fan, the senior dev is the senior dev. Just say you were following their lead.
Above all, remember that the company you are working for is not your friend and not your ally. Look out for your own interests first & don't stress about work as much as possible (I get that's easy to say and tough to do, but it's still the best idea!)
