Yes, it's obvious that some level of support staff are a good idea.

Now make an argument that the current arrangement is more optimal than the one we might end up with if there were more doctors.

That part is obvious. Regardless of the number of physicians, they will always be the most expensive resources. Thus any procedure which can safely and legally be performed by less expensive resources, should be.

Yes resources will always be scarce and we need to manage accordingly. That is reality.
