The big thing about monorepos in this case is making a change atomic across a set of projects. Multirepos can't do this 99% of the time and often add a lot more procedure to something close. It's inherently async.

The thing microservices is supposed to solve is eliminating the need to make atomic changes across services. There is an inherent overhead in doing that, like making your service support both new and old APIs as long as any service exists using the old API. This is the cost of microservices.
