Can you please link those studies with super compelling numbers?

By the way surveys are not "scientific reports" and "the state of devops" is a survey, which I read from 3 different sources (GitLab, CircleCI and Puppet) and none of them mention any of this.

As personal opinion I'd leave asap from a company that expects me to be on call the entire day for pair programming. Am I in a call center?

Avoiding PRs? Yes it can be OK if your team is composed entirely of seniors, I'm on that situation right now and PRs are a secondary thing. So it's a "yes... BUT".
Replacing PRs with pair programming is not trusting, is a waste of time. Sometimes you got good professionals to work with and sometimes you face people that need mentoring and supervision and I prefer PRs and pair programming when needed than being the entire day pair programming for no reason. They need to learn to be autonomous as well.
