Are Webpack 5 Module Federation micro frontends and Nx monorepos mutually exclusive?

I'm investigating micro frontend and monorepo architecture for an Angular 12 project. Webpack 5 recently became production ready and with it, Module Federation, Webpack's solution for micro frontends. With Module Federation we have the concept of the shell application or host, which houses your microfrontend apps or remotes.

I'm also looking into monorepos , particularly the great tooling provided by nx.

Is Module Federation combined with an nx monorepo a thing? Or, is there no need for something like nx when Module Federation already provides me a shell which houses all of my micro frontend apps? As I learn about Module Federation it sounds almost like a monorepo itself.

In other words, are Webpack 5 Module Federation and nx monorepos mutually exclusive or can /should they be used together?
