Modular monolith is a pipe dream. Great idea, but it gets messed up in reality (similar to communism). You just need a bit of time pressure and project deadlines and the devs will crack and throw the modularity over board with just a few merges. Multiply that over a decade, then you end up with a monster and fight dragons.
