Is there even an ecosystem? I don't think I have heard of anything for Lua itself, just the stuff that embed it.

There is luarocks, which is better than nothing, but it's not great.

There is. luarocks is basically the "pip" equivalent for lua, it installs packages (called "rocks") and manages dependencies. These packages can extend lua with all sorts of practical capabilities.
