In my personal opinoin the effort required for such implementation does not match its value unless you have a very specific business requirment. and this doesn't provide all the upsides of microservice implementation. for scalable frontend setup Nx & React might be interesting to check out.

It surely is a huge effort! An approach to slowly migrate old apps and to ease this implementation is to use the iframe technique, just like @dastasoft said.

I think the typical case to assume that effort is if in your company there are two different frameworks (or more) and you need to build a new application that has some parts with legacy code and the new projects are with React for example.

For example when you log into Amazon or Paypal sometimes you navigate to a screen that looks very legacy, imagine that scenario in an app that you can't navigate completely to "somewhere else", there I think it becomes very useful.
