Honestly I don't think the problem is microservices. I mean everything he brings up is true, but it's more of a "how you do microservices" issue. I used to work in startups, and overall was impressed with velocity. Then I joined a big valley tech company, and now I understand. It's because they hire smart and ambitious people, but give them a tiny vertical to work on. On a personal level, you WANT to build something, so you force it. I think you solve this by designing your stack and then hiring meticulously with rules (like templates for each micro service), instead of HIRE ALL THE ENGINEERS and then figure it out (which is quite obviously uber's problem)
