The framework level stuff is definitely reusable. Anything that involves rendering or collision touches on design decisions and thus impacts engine reuse. The off-the-shelf systems do conventional designs and workflows well, basically. But you go around them as soon as you want to explore in depth, no matter how big or configurable the engine is. This leads to a situation where copy-paste at the start of the project may be the best way to reuse good stuff. Otherwise too many assumptions change. If you try to make it a parametric problem, you usually just find out you introduced accidental coupling later.
