yes to 1, I think I know what you are talking about with 2 but as I read the main guidelines you are allowed to vendor dependencies but it is very much discouraged, though I am unsure where you got the burden part from.

With zig its not even a matter of immaturity but the fact their dependency system is designed around loose bundles which makes it pretty much impossible to package pure zig libraries without turning it into a ton of work for packagers.
