Yeh. Matrix structure where anyone can message anyone, and lots of people depend on each other, seems to work pretty well. But silos will develop anywhere you've got hundreds of people, at least as far as I've seen.

I've also witnessed matrix structure break down when too many methods of communication are used. It's all very brittle.

Every system has limitations and flaws. The trick is tailoring your system elements to serve your use case.
