I don't use version control systems to any extent but it seems like your developer problem is an issue of team-coherence and code review, and not a matter that your vcs should/need to enforce. Even in a distributed team like linux kernel development, code maintainers have the ability to say "this is how we (as core maintainers) want you to access certain data structure. If we catch you doing anything else illegally, your code won't be accepted, and we will keep rejecting your code until you adhere to our coding style and api design."

While I appreciate the "code review should be improved" it is fairly easy to accidentally import something you should not have in many IDEs (the merge the class path) as well as other accidents. These issues along with many others including code formatting can be automated. Separate projects allow less namespace collision accidents. You could achieve all of this with monorepo but requires proper tooling.
