Given that a multisite installation of discourse uses about [the same resources as an ordinary install with the same traffic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-i-log-into-multiple-instances-of-discourse-simultaneously/66281/6), I wonder what exactly the downsides are, apart from a [more complicated setup procedure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multisite-configuration-with-docker/14084).

An obvious one is that if one of your sites is down, all of your sites are down (right?). But what about support, for example? If I search meta for a solution to an issue and find something, will it automatically apply to my multisite install, even though the original topic doesn’t explicitly deal with multisite?
