Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

You Want Modules, Not Microservices
Right.
We delivered many talks on that subject and implemented an ultimate tool for that: https://github.com/7mind/izumi (the links to the talks are in the readme).
The library is for Scala, though all the principles may be reused in virtually any environment.
One of the notable mainstream (but dated) approaches is OSGi.

typelevel
Coming back to ZIO, besides learning the operators which ZIO has, there is not much to it and you have to embrace calling ZIO.x everywhere. The Layers in ZIO 2.0 are excellent and I believe that the creators want to trick us to write good OOP and we are one macro away from Springs Autowire. Perhaps even macwire is up to speed already, I didn't check for a long time.

Why no scala native IOC containers?
You can have IoC without using a DI framework. You just pass the arguments manually. I've found that it works really well. If however that's not your preference there are a couple DI frameworks in scala such as: https://github.com/softwaremill/macwire and https://izumi.7mind.io/distage/index.html

Which would be the scala way of building a modular/plugin based architecture application?
Implement the application around https://github.com/softwaremill/macwire and hope the wiredInModule feature (which support dynamic loading) would be ported to Scala 3 soon.

Macwire alternatives for scala 3
Arguing for Macwire in Scala 3 is moot anyway, because it won't be available there: https://github.com/softwaremill/macwire/commit/e9281111d78a1beeb8950f367be18cbb67aef9fe

Structuring Code with ZIO & ZLayers
One easy reason is that macwire won't be available for Scala 3 (https://github.com/softwaremill/macwire#scala3) 😉
