Yes, you can. Microservices is just an approach really of building things. I think it's important to note that going this approach requires that you have at least a good understanding of how monolithics work - that way you can effectively see where you could decouple and create modules that are as much as possible independent from each other. Most websites that only require a small portion of special functionality like processing payments, for example, can go with serverless (FaaS) to add custom logic which is normally done via backend app.

Lastly, to be honest, performance related issues are part of how well an is developed. I think for the most part with microservices since they're really focused on one business logic, I don't think it'll suffer from the said issue any time soon.
