In my experience it does not work better. There are two context related values to subagent tool calls: (1) the subagent trials and deliberations don’t poison the callers context [this is a win here]; and (2) the called agent isn’t unduly influenced by the caller’s context. [problem!]

The latter is really helpful for getting a coding assistant to settle on a high quality solution. You want critic subagents to give fresh and unbiased feedback, and not be influenced by arbitrary decisions made so far. This is a good thing, but inheriting context destroys it.
