On the flip side, I've never seen microservices provide good system-wide coordination for errors, single source of truth on data.

We had to build a system for that, still more to do but useful. https://engineering.zenefits.com/2016/03/duplo-aws-orchestration-container-management-and-paas-for-microservices/ …

Right, but many monolithic apps have internally tried to solve the modularity issue.
-
"good isolation" is trickier than it looks because you want "just enough isolation but not too much". Many tools to accomplish that.

Microservices may someday offer a moderate answer to that problem, but today there's still a lot to do on top.

Monoliths today provide a moderate answer to the question in a team that knows how to socialize modularity.
