You have a point, but I wouldn't say this is a big deal unless there is a mammoth dependency somewhere that slow down things to a crawl. Then maybe that one part of the codebase can be broken into its own separate service.

But even then there are ways around this kind of problem with dynamic linking pre-built binaries and caching, but it is extra complexity that could be worse than managing multiple services. Docker cache can usually handle this pretty well though.
