The Schengen area shouldn't have been expanded so rapidly, IMO.
Btw, what we in Scandinavia mostly read about is the constant flow of stolen goods to e.g. Poland and neighbouring countries. This was interesting to read about.

Border checks for goods were not next to non-existent pre-Schengen. They caught a lot of stuff. At least in Sweden.
I was looking at whether it would be financially prudent for Sweden to start up border checks again to stop the flow of stolen goods out of the country. The conclusion was a clear yes.
Oh no, we found a dozen servers and power tools in some Polish guy's car, must be stolen, they can't afford to buy them second hand!
Jesus wept.

Regardless, anyway you view it, these dumpings are a failure of the particular way the current EU has been implemented. There were other options.
