The only way a library might be better, is that there might be mandatory parameters, that force things to be considered, or do some validation, on say colour contrasts. However they will still require people to think accessibility. For example, if cognitive disability is one of the targeted disabilities, and all the text is written in marketing jargon, I don't think the library will detect that, and it certainly won't rewrite the text in plain language. I think a library would be better as a productivity aid for people who are able to produce accessible sites from first principles, but is is not going to be a way of deskilling accessibility.
