I'll say the quiet part out loud: nobody got fired for using a dependency with any of these bugs, and nobody got promoted for not doing so.

Obviously, pulling in something like left-pad is worthy of derision. But generally you should pull in whatever dependencies let you go faster, and minimize the amount of time spent planning for black swan events.
