I think it all depends on the granularity of dependencies and how you cope with multiple versions. If every app have their own version of a lib, you get problems with security updates and bloat. If you force a single version of each lib, you get a really slow testing and itegration cycle. If you choose something in between those extremes I think dynamic linking does have merit.
