Each to their own. I've worked with both, success with micro-services is largely a function of the organisation. My current company started transitioning 18 months ago, I wouldn't say it was easy but we are in a far better position now than we were with our monolithic architecture. Our success is largely due to the company understanding that big changes would be necessary - things like org charts, engineering culture, engineer responsibilities and job descriptions (you would be forgiven for thinking we only hire SREs).
