Agreed. We built cookiecutter templates at edX for the basic Django service and Ansible playbook. We built shared libraries for OAuth and other shared functionality.
That said, much of this did not come into place until we were on the third microservice. Starting with templates and libraries for the very first service would have definitely been premature optimization, and have resulted in wasted time and later rework.
