I agree with you, this is a balancing act between cost of maintaining multiple repositories and cost of implementing a monorepo, training the team and putting guidelines in place.

Especially with a lack of best practices and a lack of well documented how-to experiences, this is quite a bit of investment a team or company has to put in.

In my personal experience with monorepos of 15 to 20 engineers who work in it, that initial monorepo setup has been beneficial in the long run. However, I too am interested to hear from others who have hands-on monorepo experience.
