I started a new project with monorepo, but soon the number grew when I had to share smaller private sub-projects with smaller teams. I wish there was a way to only share a directory or so.

On the monorepo, I learned a couple interesting things. For example with npm packages, even if you host multiple packages in a single monorepo you can still track dependents for each individual lib [1]. Well done Github.
