That's right, and there are some interesting trade-offs. Having failure injection built-in is convenient but running a separate service gives you full control over the error responses. This can be useful if you want to simulate responses with error bodies, for example.
As far as I know Linkerd does not (yet) have such a feature though, so this post seems like a reasonable alternative.
