Well, I do have the same problem, specially when it comes to votive. The files must be duplicate, to be used in two projects, linking to files in another project is not possible. That leads to much redundant code and a big overhead for maintaining that.
In our Solution we have a client and a server installation, which both use the same service and files. The features are already split off to mergemodules to remove as much redundant code as possible, I'm also going to remove the common parts of the gui to a wixlib but the rest stays for own files in both projects.
