Title should reflect what the website has used, "Monorepo explained". It certainly doesn't cover "everything you need to know about monorepos" and glosses over its disadvantages and the things you need to watch out for.

The most important one being that you need to have an org/team structure that is set up to support it. You cannot say that it will make the org more efficient as organizations are not all the same. In order to push monorepos, the decision makers ought to know what those caveats and tradeoffs are, or they're going to be in for a sad time.

Site does do a good job of going over the tooling around it. Now this might be a matter of perception, it seems that the tooling is getting better, though not yet very mature. I see a few instances of "write your own" where the tooling is lacking, which is not a great way to go about things, and once again, makes assumptions about the nature of the orgs.
