The biggest source of relief for oncall for me is that even though my "team" is 8 people. We work on larger systems. We have ~5 teams working on a single code base, so around 30 people. Its not really a microservice, but its not really a monolith (since we have many other, and larger codebases). On call is much more bearable when its once every 3-4 months than once a month.
