Such cargo-cult statements never work in absolutes.
Saying that "monorepos are only good for large scale" is pure bullshit, and something that only someone very inexperienced would say.
I'm in a very small company (less than 10 devs) but we still use a monorepo, because we have a set of common libraries for all our products, and having a monorepo helps us update those libraries without breaking anything. On the other hand, some very large companies have tried and have failed.
Monorepos are just a tool. The implementation and the context matters more than anything else.
