I don't see what this has to do with a discussion of one repo vs multiple repos.

You think that in a multi repo world, the engineers aren't as aware of what code exists and where as they are in a single repo world? You think that code duplication and needing to read docs magically doesn't exist in a single repo world?

The number of repositories is just an organizational construct. Communication still must take place no matter what.
