I think it definitely can make rescues and recovery more difficult.
But, not impossible.


I thought it would simplify changing the sizes of partitions,
but as it happens I never need to do this
with today's enormous disks.

I think enormous disks are relative. For my desktop, I think I have
an enormous disk. For our image-processing servers, we don't have
enormous disks.

I think for many desktops, there isn't much of a need for multiple
partitions. But, if there's a marginal improvement, and you can
create abstractions that nicely bypass the downsides, its a good
thing.
