I think this is a poor comparison because microservices exist to help code mirror the org chart while chiplets exist for physical engineering reasons.
Microservices are supposed to improve testability, reduce complexity, etc: it is an organizational choice. Chiplets add complexity: silicon interposer, tougher packaging, NUMA, etc: it's an engineering choice with a tradeoff for better yield, chips reaching maximum reticle size, etc
