I don't hate debugging in evented/microservice codebases, but it is more complicated to get a good debugging setup in place w/ distributed tracing. But after you do that you're often in a better place with logging, so, it's tradeoffs. It's all tradeoffs in fact, I'll take a monolith where it's appropriate for the space and I'll take evented/microservice architectures when the monolith pattern is no longer a good investment for the problem space. All these things exist for good reasons, don't be an emotional investor [of your own time/opinions] ;-).
