I used berry for quite some time to manage web apps built in a monorepo style. (not nearly as many as 24 applications but usually two or three between frontend and backend plus a couple APIs) It was a love-hate relationship.

Maybe if I had been able to build a brand new app from scratch it would have been easier to transition, but ultimately I ended up going back to NPM after v7 came out and everyone was talking about how they've almost managed to catch up with yarn.

Not going to lie, it's still a tad slower, likely considerably slower for a sizable monorepo, but the familiarity and improved verbosity is so much better than the headache berry was causing me every other week.
