Actually he's right on this one. This fails code on two points.

You can't have a ground act as a current carrying wire.

You can't run two circuits off one neutral. You used to but it hasn't
met code in some time.

Go look at your wires coiming into the house. Your whole house runs on
one neutral and it is smaller than either phase..

If he drove a ground rod at the second building connected to the
grounded conductor and installed a 2 pole disconnect the real issue
would boil down to the bare neutral.

It's wrong but it is far from the most dangerous thing in the world.

It is dangerous I fear you also subscribe to the idea that if you
don't understand they they wrote the code that way, you can ignore it.
