This sounds like vertical slicing (incl bounded contexts), which is my preferred architecture for a monolith. It gives you the flexibility to pivot architecture more easily.

I suggest you look into Evolutionary Architecture, with can help keep vertical slicing

We've gone all-in with SSR+FaaS (aka JAMStack) with multiple projects. You get similar benefits to microservices, but without the complexity. However, hosting can be more expensive under high loads.
