Gotta issue them a NIST 800-88 certificate and you’re golden.
Comment on Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy

For security, yes, your word is not enough. This would be confidentiality in the CIA triad. I still understand your disappointment seeing probably many dozens of drives get destroyed.

Having a reliable drive erasing setup on site is not a thing? That sounds economically better to me

It’s not as secure as simply destroying a drive.
And it’s not like you’re going to reuse the drives internally - if you were, there’s no issue - reformat and move on. But that doesn’t really happen either - each project has accounting, and it’s more effort to adjust the accounting, plus the risk of moving a used drive.
Risk really drives a lot of enterprise stuff. Good way to lose your job is to accept risks, especially ones like this that can be completely mitigated by simply destroying drives. That money has been amortized/allocated already, so it’s a much better value than the risk.
