If there’s no organizational barrier (e.g. microservices architecture, separate repos with strict permissions) that will prevent devs from leaking abstractions across technical boundaries, those well-defined modules and interfaces will devolve into a big ball of mud.

I say this with the assumption that the team is large and members regularly come and go.
