My biggest hesitation about this is being stuck in merge hell. Even a minute or two needing to deal with that could negate the benefits of agents working in parallel. And I've tried some relatively simple rebase type operations with coding agents where they completely messed up. But if people are finding this is never an issue even with big diffs, I might be convinced to try it.

Typically people use sub agents from what I've seen to work in different parts of large code bases at a time.

If your hitting merge conflicts that bad all the time you should probably just have a single agent doing the work. Especially if they're intertwined rightly
