That depends on the app and what failure scenarios you are most 
concerned about.

Local queues add another moving part that itself can fail.


Note that the thread discussed blocked producers. No messages are lost 
in that situation; message loss would only occur if client or server are 
terminated/crash or there is a prolonged network disruption.
