I have a pretty large Java code base (40+ micro services) and the integration test suite takes hours, many hours, to run.

However they are usually testing components from end-to-end. This seems not very amenable to benefitting this approach, since "side effects" are an inherent part of nearly every integration test.

Wow! Seems like a challenge to test, would love to see what we can do.

Regarding side effects, completely fine as long as they're mapped out. Would love to hear more, nothing pitchy or salesy.
