They allow you to manage and share code on different levels. Workspaces are for monorepo, you create and import packages as ESM modules. Integration happens in build time with the ability to import modules dynamically, but you need to build the entire app with dynamic imports.
The benefits of module federation are in the runtime e.g. you can update and deploy only a part of your application (e.g. one monorepo package) owned by a separate team. Workspaces and federated modules can work together.
