I wonder if people are talking about the same things in these discussions. 50 people working on the same deployable in the same repo is going to create friction. Similarly, having a few people work on 50 deployables across 50 repos will create challenges.

You need to scope services appropriately. A single small team shouldn't break their application down for the sake of doing microservices, but once you have multiple teams working on the same codebase splitting it up will probably help.
