  …the whole thread you’re replying to is about it not actually being necessary. To participate in this conversation you either accept that premise or disagree with it, passing it as a given is not really an option for the argument.

  If you know what modifications you need to make (hopefully the library author does), you only need to clone the relevant parts of the object (e.g. with spreading). Deep cloning still isn't usually necessary unless you're doing wierd stuff.
