Valve software is another example of a company famous for unusually flat, non-hierarchical structure

Yeah, Holacracy isn't really flat and non-hierarchical is the thing. That's what pluralists want and the idea is popular so it gets press.

I think the misconception is that holacracy is uniformly flat, which it is not necessarily. It's more about decentralization than flatness.

Decentralizing is one way to move toward a distributed system. Centralizing can also be a way to move toward a distributed system.

it can be but that requires a very optimistic view of how a central distribution authority will behave

I've struggled to create small systems that keep these things in check, and have err'd to both sides, and seen how they actually fail.

I'd be really interested to read your thoughts on that (failure modes) at length
