This is certainly tempting, but also dangerous -- once a somewhat
working solution is in place, there is less motivation to do the "right"
thing...

Note that besides going fully monolithic (as described above), or fully
modular (as you suggested originally), a compromise solution that is
monolitic on the vertical axis (all layers in one server), but modular
on the horizontal one (seperate instance for each device) is also a
possibility. I'm not saying it's necessarily the best choice -- but it's
an option to consider. Ultimately it depends on how much effort the
person implementing it is willing to invest...
