It's amazing how much of it would describe a modern agile team but on the other hand there's still some largely unexplored territory. Last year I got to spend a lot of time working in a team of two that was much like the surgical team approach, the c++ expert cranked out code while I as the linux expert (the closest we had anyway) cleared the path, got the environment, builds, source control and scripts to work. Having a specialized tool maker doesn't seem very common either, it seems like in most places everyone is there own toolmaker with little to no sharing, or that there are no toolmakers.
