Thats why i wrote in 5 years, because usually architecture nightmare blows up in a longer term, not 1 year.

PS. Im pretty sure 10 small spaghetti apps will be worse to maintain than 1 spaghetti app, but what do i know ;)

I guess I don't see your point. You're just staying an opinion, which is fine, but it seems baseless. You're saying a microfrontends is more complex than a monolith. I disagree. Having done both I'd say microapps are much easier to develop and maintain. Pulling them together isn't very hard either. Have you used single spa?

This sums it up well.

arch

If dev dont know how to write code, dev will make 💩 in any architecture.
The complexity on top of micro* will create additional mess that will be harder to handle.

Problems with architecture are long-term and surface after some team rotation, legacy code creation, test neglecting, etc. But you have some years until then, so dont worry ahead of time ;-)

So your argument is that bad devs write bad code? ... Alright well I'm gonna bow out of this one. Unless you have a more substantive argument.
