To speed up development and have a better control of the project dependencies, we should try to move to Yarn+Workspaces to make sure as many dependencies as possible are shared and the node_modules footprint is reduced.

Having a single point to analyze dependencies (yarn.lock) also contributes to improve control and visibility over what's being used and why, while making it simpler to make broad infrastructure build changes.
