Or just, you know, service architectures. Most microservice architectures I've seen go way too far down the route of breaking up services and their infrastructure to an impractical level. But all you need in order to make JWTs really useful is two federated services. This happens all the time, often in the course of some partnership, acquisition, or just an organizational structure meant to decouple 2+ teams from each other.
Based on their mention of a single framework connecting to a single database, OP seems to have never moved past the point of developing a single service. Which is fine! It makes things simpler for sure, and you can get very far with that. But they are then dispensing advice about things they don't seem to know much about.
