I think this is a poor comparison because microservices exist to help code mirror the org chart while chiplets exist for physical engineering reasons.

Microservices are supposed to improve testability, reduce complexity, etc: it is an organizational choice. Chiplets add complexity: silicon interposer, tougher packaging, NUMA, etc: it's an engineering choice with a tradeoff for better yield, chips reaching maximum reticle size, etc

Chiplets also exist for organizational reasons, e.g.

  trust boundaries
  open vs. closed IP
  old vs. new processes
  onshore vs. offshore
  supply chain resilience
