I explicitly claim to use a "citadel" archicture [0] when talking about breaking off services for very similar reasons. Having a single microservice split out from a monolith is a totally valid application of microservices, but I've had better results in conversation when I market it properly. I've found this to go so far as to have "monolith" understood to mean "single instance of a system with state held in memory".
