Pros: you can scale them independently of GMS sizing. No fate sharing with online request / response traffic.
Cons: somewhat unnecessary complexity for most deployments. You need really high volume of metadata events AND really high volume of programmatic API calls to GMS to warrant the separation.

technically: read + write traffic is going thru gms, write proposal traffic going thru mce, write changelog traffic going thru mae processor. So if you have big diffs between these numbers, you might need different scaling vectors.
