Some of the people with a reflexive "probably don't do it" response _have_ done what you are saying. They've assessed and learned. They've gone with microservices, and they've watched it go poorly. In short, people are giving a reflexive "don't do it" because they are sharing their experience (which is one of the points of comments in general, right?). If you're anywhere near the point of "needing" microservices (if there is such a thing), there is no simple "try stuff out", fwiw. You're talking about potentially 10s of different teams needing to be involved even for some small effort.
