A single root package.json can look simpler in an Nx monorepo but dependency hoisting hides ownership and can turn upgrades into confusing production build failures.

GraphQL solves a real problem, but in many enterprise setups that problem is already handled by BFFs.

Dependabot PRs are useful, but researching every upgrade across a large monorepo is slow.

I ran Knip across our Nx repo, took the “unused” list as a hint, deleted candidates, built, tested, booted apps, and put a few back when they were secretly used.
