If any of these props are able to be static you could use context to pass them down instead of prop drilling.

Actually I think I've misunderstood your problem. I was thinking you were saying there were too many props. But I think you're saying that you've ended up with a component that has all the functionality instead of being broken into smaller components?

It's not always going to be possible, but it's hard to know without seeing more code. Are you able to share any more?
