Indeed, my suggestion is zero dynamic libraries in security critical code/applications.

If security is a goal, loading in-process foreign code is already a lost battle.

Plugins as dynamic libraries made sense when we were fighting for each MB, not when people have hardware where they go to the extreme of running containers for every application they can think of.

Bonus, processes aren't as heavy as containers.
