I personally have seen the opposite problem - the friction of making small changes to "utility" libraries becomes a huge pain point for developers when you have to make changes, test locally, push to package manager, update all consumers to use the new version... It's much easier, in my experience, to just consume a class that's already in the same project / repo.

I have also experienced this pain where a company I worked for went too hard on splitting every thing into separate repos, such that updating something deep in the dependency tree becomes very painful and involves a protracted "version bump dance" on dependent repos. There's no silver bullet here.
