I would probably just vendor them into my own directory structure and import them as a local module.

You lose automatic updating, but I'm not sure I want that anyhow. A script that goes looking for new versions of 3rd party modules would be fairly trivial I think.

Vendoring is a last resort, that sounds like going back to the stone ages of package management. Why would I want that?

I think the advantages far outweigh the downsides. I don't really care how old the idea is.

I'm getting on this boat after mongoose changed its type definitions and ruined a whole morning of work for me.
