Honest question, have you actually run a DAG-based agent system past like 8 nodes? In my experience the topology isn't what gives you reliability, it's the error handling at each node. You can have the most beautiful DAG in the world and it still falls apart when node 3 returns something subtly wrong and nodes 4-8 all proceed as if everything's fine. The structure gives you the illusion of control.
