you can do islands of communications in a monolith as well, with the added advantage of significantly lower deployment complexity as well lower incidental compl

  And (much) lower deployment costs, lower staffing costs, and lower development costs... In my experience anyway.

  This is only true for trivially small products. The pipeline complexity for multi-team monoliths can consume an entire dev team to maintain.

  I view a working microservices application as a monolith with unreliable network connections between components. So overall adding a lot more complexity for the promise of lowers costs and scale-ability. One advantage that I do see is the ability to deploy components individually, but I see more downsides than benefits overall. I hope that consensus is becoming "start with a (modular, well designed) monolith and scale out the parts as needed".
