I feel like doubling the workload is better than quadrupling the size of the project inheriting a bevy of features and tools you likely won’t touch at all. Sure it’s stripped out later (ideally), but I like less bloat and that includes during dev when I might have to dig through 3rd party code with its own conventions and standards packed into a ‘source available’ library with potentially dogshit or absent documentation.

Also yes, it’s good practice
