Is it normal for good PhD advisors to micromanage early PhD students?
Some PhD students need micromanagement.  Some are harmed by it.
Some supervisors know how to customise things to the needs of the student.  Some supervisors do not know how to micromanage.  Some some do not know how to not micromanage.
Tell your supervisor what you want.  Listen to your supervisor's feedback - what you want might not be possible.  If you have tried this several times and the relationship is failing spectacularly, get a new supervisor.
What you are experiencing is within the range of &quot;normal.&quot;  There's no way for us to know if it is &quot;good.&quot;
