All of these (except 3) also get solved by moving dependencies to a hosted npm registry. Something which has been suitable for some projects I’ve worked on. And keeps ’git clone’-times down.

Well, not necessarily. Basically you create a new dependency and a piece of infrastructure _you_ need to maintain and that often still relies on yarn/npm upstream registries.

So if that part of the infrastructure is down, you cannot work. A repo might be more error resilient, because if you check it out, you check it out.
