Sounds reasonable. I'll have to add, though, that the underlying technology factors into this as well.

For example: If you're stuck with a TFS monorepo (you poor soul), you actually get to deal with both problems to some extent, since TFS doesn't enforce that you check out the intire repository at once.

This can have very "funny" situations because someone forgot to checkout new changes in some folder. OTOH, at least for releases, you can remedy this by using CI everywhere.
