Probably unpopular, but I just use Bazel and pick the versions of software I use.

I know the current attitude is to just blindly trust 3rd party libraries (current and all future versions) and all of their dependencies, but I just can't accept that. This is just unsustainable.

I guess I'm old or something.

Go MVS does not require you to blindly trust 3rd party libraries. Certainly not "current and all future versions". Go modules also offer hermetic and reproducible dependency resolution by default.
