I have no particular dog I wish to back in the Microservice vs Monolith debate. But I think since you joined at the inflection point it's probably worth it to take a good look at why their monolith landed them in such a poor place and so that no matter what direction you go for the future you can at least make different mistakes. Microservices won't magically fix issues with tightly coupled components or poor achitecture. Those problems can and do still happen with them.
