I very much disagree. The changes and refactorings we did to declarative
over the last year would IMO have been a lot harder to do with a
monolithic repository.

Bisecting qtdeclarative works usually well on the latest qtbase, and
bisecting qtbase can be done independent of qtdeclarative. It’s only in
the relatively rare case that a qtbase change caused a break in
declarative that this is an issue. I believe that’s worth the trade off.

How do you imagine that should that work in practice?
