Highly recommend reading Designing Data-Intensive Apps [1] and Monolith to Microservices [2]. I can't remember which (maybe both?) but I definitely took away the idea that if services share a DB, that DB's schema is now a public interface and becomes much more difficult to evolve with new requirements.
