For my part on the C++ side, I plan to proceed with a hub-and-spoke model. A minimal small core library with "leaf" shared libraries (for example: Parquet read/write adapter) that you can opt-in to building. This will add some extra linker configuration complexity for downstream users but to the benefit of a less monolithic library stack (which I don't think anyone wants).
