I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Mono-repo is entirely a different concept then centralized (eg: SVN) vs distributed (eg: git).

I'd also seriously question an org not using git, specifically, despite claiming "cargo cult". Literally every developer knows it, it's got a huge choice of tooling, and every service/tool (CI/CD, issue tracker, etc) has an integration. IMHO, you better have a damn good reason to be on something else to justify the headaches involved of being not git.

That's a very damning statement. Many places use perforce, for example.

Git doesn't handle binaries and frankly git struggles to scale. Try checking out a _large_ git repo and running some common operations on it.

Sounds like it's git but begrudgingly.
