Not at all. Monorepo is merely a detail around VCS and it does not remove complexity and the need for versioning.

Yes, and because you can atomically update an internally breaking API change across all consumer projects in the same commit as the change itself, the monorepo setup is touted as reducing complexity where this change would otherwise be non-atomic across many repos.
