Monorepos have advantages and we considered that approach - easier mgmt, linear change timeline, consolidation of GitHub stars, etc. But on balance we felt our plugin and mod model benefited more from the separation - specific audience, clearer release history, simpler clone & install (mods), encourages contribution of plugins via repo ownership. Cross-repo tooling helps to offset the negatives of managing many repos, and as you say, the lessons we shared come also from managing our larger repos (e.g. the Steampipe CLI).
