I actually had the opposite happening: a project was having some real issues with not installing proper dependencies until we started using npm 5.3+. Things work fine now and are a bit more deterministic it seems. It's an odd project with a lot of super strange peer dependencies, many of them in beta or as pre-releases, so I'm sure it's nothing that happens all the time (the joys of using React Native and Relay where everything is at an imaginary release state). But still glad npm 5 made it work consistently.
