This works, sure, but when setting up a new server, you're going to have to remember which package version you want for each of your dependencies. It's much easier to just have a Cargo.toml or package.json and run one command that verifies and installs exactly what you need.
I guess containerization solves much of this problem now, but back when I was heavily into CL, containers were just starting to peek their heads out into the world at large.
