I know what it sounds like, but the 'don't roll your own crypto' mantra is completely overused. That advice really applies to creating custom cryptographic algorithms (e.g. a new cipher or hash function) without adequate academic experience. When it comes to implementing cryptography using libraries like libsodium, that mantra doesn't apply if you're willing to do enough research. Instead, it should be 'be careful rolling your own crypto'. If everyone took the 'don't roll your own crypto' motto literally, then we wouldn't have had libsodium or Monocypher. Everybody has to start somewhere. Education about how to implement things correctly, code peer review, and feedback on designs should be the norm, not 'don't roll your own crypto'. Unfortunately, some people aren't willing to do any of those things.
