Can I share only select apps

Is there a way to share only some applications with some family members, or is it all or nothing?

Yes by hiding the app. When you hide an app, family members do not have access to it.

Hide purchases from the App Store - Apple Support

When you hide an app, it won't appear in your list of purchases in the App Store. If you use Family Sharing, the app also won't appear in family members' purchases and won't be available for family members to redownload. But the app will still appear in your purchase history.
