Systems that "sustain life" should be written up if they are not in compliance with the required or minimum standard for airworthiness or the operation about to be conducted. the PIC is responsible for that.

Yeah stuff like that needs to be documented so it can get fixed in case it's a trend. If you don't want to get somebody in trouble you could ASAP it (I don't *think* that would lead to a third party getting in trouble but not 100% sure). Or use the anonymous safety suggestion box.
