Even at a much smaller scale of a few dozen parallel agents working I've found real benefit to a structured hierarchy of agents. Not just keeping the context clean and focused at the right level, but if you find that something has just gone off the rails, you can more easily rip out or even just fully delete a leg of work without damaging the original design. It's also nice when you find a design change is needed and you can communicate that to the top level and have it efficiently propagate down where it matters.
I like it so much I even recorded a video walking through the process!
