To describe the welcome email as horrible would be a compliment, it is far worse than horrible.
And to compound the issue, via powershell you need to disable it per team, you can't disable it globally.
So if we move to creating teams via PS and disabling the message, you would think you could then use a Power Automate or a logic app to send a more suitable and branded welcome email, but no, it isn't that easy because the "When a new member is added" flow is also designed for targeting a specific team.
User Voice is gone....how do we get the message through to MS that we want better options around the new member welcome email?

User voice has been replaced with the MS Feedback Forum, here is the one for Teams: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
I have submitted a request to allow a custom template or at least custom HTML text to be included in the welcome email. Feel free to vote on it: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/3f16092f-4a29-ed11-a81b-6045bd7d68ae
