Curious what people think on this one.
Every corner of this industry has its accepted best practices, the stuff that gets repeated in guides and onboarding docs. But after enough years actually running these systems, I feel like most of us end up with at least one "official" recommendation we have quietly stopped following, because in practice it either does not matter as much as people say, or it causes more hassle than it solves.
For me it is probably how religiously some setups insist on separating every single tenant onto its own dedicated trunk group, even for small deployments where the actual call volume never justifies it. Sounds clean on paper, adds real overhead in practice for a lot of smaller setups.
So, over to you. What is a PBX or VoIP "best practice" you were taught, or read somewhere, that you have since decided is more trouble than it is worth? Could be about trunking, dial plans, extensions, security hardening, monitoring, whatever. Doesn't have to be a big controversial take, even a small "yeah I stopped bothering with that" counts.
