> our system is at large scale, many thousands of events per second, so a microservice architecture is required. I'm not sure if you're making a performance argument, or an organizational one.

Introducing IPC where there wasn't any previously is not going to make something faster (it's going to be significantly slower 99% of the time actually) unless you also increase resources dramatically.
