I'm not sure if full-mesh is best practice, the external clients should have
full view of as close to source data as possible.
If in full-mesh you're already masking the data with inaccuracy, giving the
clients less information to make decision?

We used to have full-mesh in our meinbergs, until from their recommendation we
removed it completely. It makes sense to me, but I don't understand the issue
deeply.
