The software industry is learning once again that complexity kills

Share data, not state.
In Rust this is a pretty good use-case for channels, which can be used to send messages across threads.

I don't think that makes any sense. The main benefit of microservices is organizational, more specifically how a single team gets to own all aspects of developing, managing, and operating a service.
Lower in priority, there's enabling regional deployments and improved reliability.
How are linting rules even expected to pull that off?
Should have explained my viewpoint. Most startups should not do micro services.
Using linting to prevent coupling between modules can give you some of the benefits of micro services without going all in.

My point was that modularizing an application and decoupling components does not, by any mean, give any of the benefits of microservices.
The benefits of microservices are organizational and operational independence. Where do you see coupling between components to play a role in any of these traits?
