The answer is it depends on the maturity of framework and how it manage extensions. There are many framework out there that is hard to add another extension / plugin when it's not included in configuration. Some example maybe if you want to connect to multiple db, elasticsearch library, redis, etc. It's sometimes hard to do something when the app booting due to the nature of framework. On the side note though I find Laravel is mature enough for standard use.
