By isolating the complexity to small pockets, each of which is largely invisible to the rest of the system, and reducing the coordination required between the different autonomous operators involved to managable levels, much as the high complexity of the global routing system is managed.
This isn't just handwaving -- the root zone has been served with enormous reliability for a long time, accommodating all of the precautions on that list. That reliability is a feature of prudence and simplicity, not needless complexity and confusion.
