It's similar to optimization in that it follows a U-curve. Up to a point, simpler things have more performance, and simpler things have less downtime. But after a certain point, it's no longer enough to make it simpler. You have to get a lot more involved again, and this time the complexity has to be intelligently focused around the end goal (be it performance or uptime).
