Actually for a big codebase there are always reasons to use microservices: much better scalability, easier to develop using small teams, easier to maintain, the software is more robust.

There are even more reasons to use a monolith, or to simply use a service oriented architecture.

Probably not necessary to repeat here, but microservices add a lot of complexity due to asynchronicity, limited interfaces, and more complex error handling.
