My paranoid workflow is that I have to make many subdivisions of the document so that I can trivially enable/disable components when I am triaging a problem. When something breaks, I am less reliant on the garbage error messages. So the top-level document is just a long list of inputs \input{intro} \input{prelude} \input{complex_figure1} ... The side benefit is that I can disable all but the component on which I am directly working, so compilation is faster.
