My Monolith SJW spirit feels way more calm now :D

About the levels of quality you can find inside a monolith, I am experiencing right now the curious situation of how, in order to be able to extract some functionality out of a poorly designed monolith to some separate service, the process of decoupling and isolating the code is leading to some decent implementation of it and removing the need of a new service and all the burden it implies in terms of communication, testability, etc.

As you point out in your post, the simplest choice that covers your quality needs is the way to go.
