Funny when executives say, "Prove to me that engaging everybody in continuous improvement is good for the business" when they didn't have proof that NOT engaging them was good for business. Why is evidence needed to change the default when evidence wasn't used that first time?

You can have "E2E Testing Strategies" or "Microservices" but not both.
Microservices are, by definition, "independently deployable" so you don't get to test them together before you deploy, because if you do you now have a distributed monolith - which is fine, but not m-service
