There are compelling pros and easily identifiable cons to placing UI components into their own project. I don't have anything to add there.
Please, however, consider a different name. "Fluid Design System" is generic to the point of giving no cognitive clue about what it actually is. And without that clue, it's no different than a shorter made-up word. Also, a quick Google search doesn't indicate that it's an industry accepted phrase that conveys meaning.
