I was also keeping in mind the embedded case. Yes, here you want to compile everything statically and with compile flags of your choise. But you'll also want to keep number of dependencies as low as possible so that porting to a new platform is feasible. In my opinion git submodules / cmake subprojects are more that enough for that.

I will agree with that. I have investigated other options and always come back to the same place. I am currently trying to unwedge us from vendor specific IDEs to cmake subprojects and submodules. At the moment we have a monorepo but it makes releases of subcomponents a bit sloppy.
