No, this is not the reality of using Haskell packages.
The problem you describe was solved more than a decade ago.
You use a Stackage snapshot (https://www.stackage.org/lts) which is a curation of packages that work together, similar to a Linux distribution like Debian, carrying one version per package.
Our company using Haskell has not spent 1 minute doing "dependency resolution" in the last 10 years, not has anybody we know.
