Inseparable: If database schemas are shared, development and deployment need to be synchronized every time there's a schema change

no they're not. You can treat tables as public and not make incompatible changes to still benefit from separate deployables

Similar to how you can just build a modular monolith: True, but a technical boundary helps

most devs treat their APIs the same as a backwards comp. DB table: no versioning (1 version only), bad docs, no guarantees
