I think we have ~400 microservices of varying types that deploy in many ways to many places (big proponents of using the right tools for the job rather than forcing preferred tools) and definitely in the last block. Although, as a DevOps guy my life would be a lot easier if we had a handful of monster monoliths, I understand it doesn't make sense for our scale. I can fantasize though, and this meme hits extremely close to home 😅

Tangentially, at my previous job we were in blocks 4 and 5 of transitioning away from a single monolith. Major issues arise when a "Java only shop for 20 years" start down this path with an extreme mindset of "we only use Java". Java kubernetes controllers? lmfao, no thanks (they wanted them though 😑)
