I've seen some systems with a lot of pieces where teams have attempted to avoid repetition and arranged to use a single source of schema truth to generate various other parts automatically, and it was generally more brittle and harder to maintain due to different parts of the pipeline owned by different teams, and operated on different schedules. Furthermore it became hard to onboard to these environments and figure out how to make changes and deploy them safely. Sometimes the repetition is really the lesser evil.
