Not exactly. (At least small) companies can go out of business because of bugs. And one great way to "achieve" said bugs are implicit dependencies hidden from developers that didn't introduce them. > The worst case is that the engineering team spent more time working on “well encapsulated projects” than on the most important project for their business I'm not really sure how I should read this. Don't you use your repos to solve business problems? Why should that change because of the repo layout?

If you do a poly-repo approach from the start, and have dependencies between repos, you need to introduce component versioning from the start. Component versioning doesn't solve any business problems, but requires engineering effort.

Small businesses are not going to go out of business because of bugs unless those bugs aren't addressed. They'll go out of business because of poor sales and product management. Different things.
