> For best results, our project structure needs to be set up with LLM workflows in mind. Specifically, we should carefully manage and keep the cognitive load required to understand and contribute code to a project at a minimum.

What's the main barrier to doing this all the time? Sounds like a good practice in general.

It isn't good practice. You don't want people contributing to a project who don't understand the code they submit or the project they're contributing to, because you'll just need to make that up with more effort debugging garbage code. The cognitive load required to actually learn how things work is a necessary filter for minimum effort and quality.
