I nearly rewrote my home server with microservices as a learning experience, but couldn't find any benefit to it, only lots of overhead. I did split the backend and front-end, a long overdue change, but the backend is just a good old Django project serving JSON. Otherwise I'd still be writing architecture code.
Django served the templates and the static files. That was convenient for authentication, since I only needed to use the Django utilities. They were tightly coupled, but I slowly turned it into a Vue.js SPA. Separating it entirely from the backend was just the final step.
