Is combining addon maps a good idea?

I’ve been wondering if it’s a good idea to combine multiple addon maps into one reaource. Some say it’s good because you can reduce the total amount of resources your server loads on start/restart, but at the same time some say not recommended because it makes clients use more RAM by loading all the maps at the same time. Which statement is correct?

Only the first one is fully correct (about fewer resources, duh); as for the second part, if they’re set up correctly there should be no performance impact on the clients from having it one way or another. The difference is negligible, and it’s usually not worth bothering combining maps in my experience - that time and effort is better spent elsewhere.

it will only cause brain pain when you want to remove something or find which asset is doing something wrong such as not loading properly or random collisions. not worth doing it
