Well there are certainly tradeoffs. We do have more apps that can fail. Then again, when one does start to choke, as will happen, the others don't die. So if Baroque locks up, or starts to churn, or I do the ol rm -rf / all that is impacted it our ability to press frontpages until Chef can mint us another Baroque.

Also, there's not, so much, another layer between frontend and backend as there is a multiplication of frontends. It certainly may get us into trouble. Luckily, we already were in trouble and, worse case scenario, we all learn a lot from the experience.

The hell-road blacktop is something we are trying to tear us by substituting the abstract relation of CMS to site for a closer isomorphy of app to function. Who knows? Might work.
