Microkernels mean more insulation and standardization.

Yes, it's a form of complexity; just not what tend to relate to problems.

The complexity comes from when those standards don't let you do something, and you have to do weird things to break through them. Such as leaky abstractions.

Microkernels IPC ought to be enough for anybody.

Seriously, completely generic IPC is not something impossible. You may have some to create some large drivers, but the insulation is still there, even for those.
