We did the journey both ways:

Monolith -> Microservices -> Monolith

The first monolith was so bad that microservices made sense at that point in time. The current monolith is an exemplar of why we do not use microservices anymore. Everything about not fucking with wire protocols or distributed anything is 100x more productive than the alternatives.

Deciding you need to split your code base up into perfectly-isolated little boxes tells me you probably have a development team full of children who cannot work together on a cohesive software architecture that everyone can agree upon.
