I'm not a maximalist either. Distributed networks are always less efficient than hierarchical systems at specific tasks. Some projects, such as the Bitcoin lightning network or Ethereums' Raiden therefore try to build faster payment or state networks on top of the distributed systems with them as point of last resolve in case of conflicts of cooperation or availability. Doing the inverse of this might also lead to interesting results.
