It was probably chef, but yeah I totally can see that happening.
in terms of scaling, nowadays everything either shards or can sit behind a load balancer, so partitioning is much more simple nowadays.
for network layout though, having hosts that can get access to a large number of machines is something I really don't like. Traditional monitoring, where you have an agent running as root and can execute a bunch of functions is also a massive security risk, and has largely moved to other forms of monitoring.
