With static linking, the application potentially starts up more quickly.
But if only 2 or 3 libraries are bundled, I don't think it makes a big
difference.

And if it means losing de-duplication, it is probably not worth it. But
for de-duplication to work on the *.so files, the applications must
bundle the same version of the library, and the builds need to be
reproducible.
