FWIW "Monorepo requires people to work on it" is organisationally a bit of a cop out because everything requires this kind of work, its just a difference between each team dedicating some time to it in there little bubble (in which they do things slightly differently) versus doing it once at a larger scale centrally - this requires some investment in the form of salary but you would still spend this money in the first place, you just don't notice. Boiling frogs and all that. You'd also be surprised just how little work this actually is if you get it right, versus having to fix 50 different hacked up solutions across your company. It does put strain onto some tooling, but these days git seems to be fine well beyond kernel-scale - when you are this size you have "made it" anyway.
