But isn't it impractical to test every feature of every library you are using? In an ideal world you would have everything tested in isolation as well as integration. But in practice there will always be a corner case that remains untested because you don't know all internals of the libraries you use.

If you want to be able to randomly upgrade those dependencies and not have to worry about a breaking change, then yes. Semver is not going to help you there. Server is only going to help you when someone knows they are releasing breaking change. And even then, only if they are nice enough to actually follow the spec. You don't have to test every bit of every dependency you use, but upgrading them without either carefully reviewing the changes or having tests in place for at least critical functionality is asking for something like this to happen eventually.
