A system made of multiple distinct components, while it can be complicated, is not a distributed system. A SoC is not a distributed system.
For the system you describe to have the practical challenges of a distributed system it would also need experience some of the following:
- some of the "different processors" would need to fail at seemingly random times, only to come back again in a few minutes.
- the speed at which those "different processors" respond would need to vary widely, and different times of the day.

While this hopefully gets caught and we get the timing right to make things work in production, I pretend it's an async device that can fail and lock up at any point. It makes debugging easier.
