The microservices analogy is spot-on - multi-agent systems introduce coordination overhead that's only justified when domain complexity naturally decomposes into specialized tasks with clear interfaces.
Agree that the microservices analogy is great for the maintainability aspect of multi-agents. However, there is one more dimension which is specific to LLMs - performance. Smaller agents tend to have better instruction-following accuracy.
