The period that the story of monkey island is set i believe is depicted better using hand-made graphics and not 3D. Of course Monkey Island isn't exactly set in the pirate era. The real pirates of that time were a lot different than those in Monkey Island. As lucasarts says, the game is in fact inspired from the "pirates of the carribean" in the theme park of Disney. Anyway... i do not believe that 3D's should be used everywere, there are some games that need to stay 2D. If a time comes that 3D will be so good as 2D in relation to detail etc then it will be ok to use them instead of 3D.
