It probably depends on what you're working on. For the most part relying on a high-quality library/module that already implements a solution is less code to maintain. Any problems with the shared code can be fixed upstream with more eyeballs and more coverage than anything I build locally. I prefer to keep my eyeballs on things most related to my domain and not maintain stuff that's both ultimately not terribly important and replaceable (if push comes to shove).

Generally, you are correct that having multiple libraries to choose among is concerning, but it really depends. Mostly it's stylistic choices and it can be hard to tell how it integrates before trying.
