Local models are moving towards batched inference too, if only for non-interactive use. An early experimental patchset for DS4 (running DeepSeek V4 Flash) seems to show 2x aggregate tok/s decode when processing 8 streams concurrently, and more than 3x when processing as many as 32 streams concurrently. Note that decode (which is not helped significantly) then becomes a much larger portion of total wall-clock time, so the overall gain is lower. MTP will still be highly valuable for interactive use of course.
