The cloud isn't the right solution for everything, but I've been migrating infrastructure from on-prem to the cloud for ~10 years and it's saved money, simplified processes, and improved performance in every single case. I've also done a lot of work rearchitecting cloud infrastructure with the same effects.
It all comes down to architecture and design. Many applications aren't designed for the cloud, and of course those systems are costly and painful to run in the cloud.

When I worked as a team lead, my main concern was whether were hitting our goals as a team, and ensuring every member of the team was aligned and ready to do their job. I had a colleague during lockdown who was just not getting anything done. We'd have calls to ensure he understood his task and knew what to do. But nothing was getting done. It'd take him days to reply to a message. I'll never know for sure, but I suspect he was working another job at the same time. He didn't last long in the company.

Full stack consultant and solutions architect with over 10 years of experience. I'm also the author of "Microservice APIs" (https://www.manning.com/books/microservice-apis), a frequent blogger and speaker, founder of microapis.io, and I run a very popular series of workshops about building and securing microservices and APIs (https://microapis.io/workshops).
As an expert on microservices, APIs, and Python, I help companies deliver faster and save hundreds of thousands of dollars by introducing best practices, with great focus on automation and security. My engagements typically involve a combination of system/code auditing, finding the most optimal solutions, and upskilling/training.

If you can't get your monolith right you probably won't get your microservices right. Microservices do come with additional overhead in terms of infrastructure, integrations, and so on. There's a concept of microservices readiness (e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/guide/t...). Many organisations aren't ready to embrace microservices, and if they get into microservices before they're ready, then it's a lot of pain. There's also this misconception that microservices must be nano-services. But that's not a problem with microservices architecture, it's a problem of using microservices anti-patterns. As with everything in technology, there's no universally unique solution to all problems - everything's context-specific.
