I have two things that are not deployed together. However there is common algorithms between the two that I'd rather not copy and paste maintain. Mono repo doesn't make sense because there is always something close to release and getting risk adverse (there are legal consequences to some bugs) so nothing can every be updated.

The release cycle of that common code is also a big factor.

If your common code changes fairly irregularly, you are correct, monorepos have reduced benefit.

If your common code is as likely to change as anything else, or more likely, then your multirepo setup can begin to incur more cost.
