Yes and no. Monolithic kernel is wrong, but so was the 1990s (and much of present) idea about what a microkernel should be. AIUI they had much of hardware access in core kernel, POSIX as a bunch of services...

It should be the other way around. POSIX (or at least a corresponding and fully compatible resource model) in the core kernel, all hardware access isolated into unprivileged services.

yes, it sure would be great if I could both run NVIDIA and report bugs on Linux, and not have my kernel crap itself in unusual situations

So you think the concept of a micro kernel is better than a monolithic one?
-
It depens whether better means easier to develop on or not.

Also unpopular opinion: what's good depends on who is coding, what, when and why.
