I think microservices obviates ESB. If you have a legacy system that you can't replace, build a shim layer. Or, better yet, take the money you had allocated for building an ESB and spend it deprecating your legacy systems.

What is an ESB if not a collection of shim layers? What you said in the second sentence is one of the purposes of Mulesoft. Creating a unified and consistent shim layer for all of the legacy systems you can't replace.
Mulesoft does have a lot of cool functionality, but my impression is that unless you are the type of organization with dozens of systems, decades long timespan, and dozens of developers that Mulesoft isn't worth the money.
