Could be. But these are not the available system architectures out there.

Unless someone comes up with a (adequately) distributed algorithm for load balancing, you are still
going to need a central processor with connections to all the individual controls, and this is going
to have exactly the same dimensions as centralised-control network. If the latter needs repeaters,
so does the former.

Intuitively, I doubt it would be that hard to come up with a redundant distributed-control
architecture exhibiting the desirable features you mention.
