I would google up Andrew Tanenbaum versus monolithic kernel and look back at the history of this debate. It goes back to 90s - birth of Linux.
I am not going to judge it theoretically on a principle. Just observing the real world as it currently is - microkernel security currently comes primarily from the fact that it cannot do much and it is not used outside SW research and niche such as "secure" IME (remember that last year). The beauty of open source, in my opinion, is diversity and agiliy. So, there is place for micro kernel OS. I am not quite sure that minix is the future direction thought. It has not been for the last 30+ years. .....
