Imho you can't organize effectively beyond a certain scale without discipline, and that necessitates a degree of hierarchy. You only have to look at e.g. the SWP to see how that hierarchy can be abused though. It's not an easy problem
Strategy and planning are more efficient as full time roles. It offloads more time to other roles that no longer need to think about those things and can focus on what they're doing.
