This is certainly building on principles and ideas from a long history of computer science research.

And yes, there are moment where you go "oh, we implicitly gave up xyz (i.e., causal order across steps) when we started adopting architecture pqr (microservices). But here is a thought on how to bring that back without breaking the benefits of pqr".

If you want, you can think of this as one of these cases. I would argue that there is tremendous practical value in that (I found that to be the case throughout my career).

And technology advances in zig zag lines. You add capability x but lose y on the way and later someone finds a way to have x and y together. That's progress.
