What is the alternative? Have the large projects maintain their own dependencies? i.e. React, Webpack, Typescript, Express... Create and maintain your own packages? Review each package and save a copy in your own repo for re-use? Upgrading would be a pain.

Yes? It is possible for things to be too convenient, IMHO. >Upgrading would be a pain. Upgrading should be at least a bit painful. Upgrading without pain means you don't really know what changes you're making to your codebase, and you don't care to know, you just want the magic black box to work and not bother you with the details. There should be at least more effort put into upgrades than the least amount possible.
