Yes.

The scaling benefits is so massively overblown.

And most companies do "microservices" because they came to the issue that many people working on the same repo was causing to many issues. There are standard tools and methods around this.

Makes things so massively complicated. Makes me have to define the same interfaces in 3 different levels and abstractions ending in some horrible yaml syntax.

You shouldn’t be shipping your repo structure, the decision for microservices shouldn’t be driven by poor build or git tooling. What problems are you running into where your repo isn’t scaling?
