Yeah, I agree with this. There's a larger context here of capitalism evolving firms because they're more efficient, even though they dilute the price-communication value of markets to some extent. As a consequence your boss and my boss are talking about something that might affect millions of people. That results in an effect akin to regulatory capture. So one way to view my case against division of labor is as a case for pushing intelligence to the edges, as close as possible to the owner of the computer running the software.
On this larger level my suggestions are not actually that radical. Capitalism has had a long trend to push intelligence down to the edges. Kings used to use hierarchy to push decisions down. Blitzkrieg was largely about creating an organization that pushes decision-making down. And we've been getting better at it. I think we (i.e. society) can be even better at it by pushing decision-making out of the org and towards the people using it.
