The common refrain against polyculture/intercropping/whatever is that it’s harder to harvest. That’s going to be a big deal I think - being able to reasonably, cheaply, automate fast harvesting. It doesn’t seem like there’s much on the subject of automating it yet. The other issue is the possibility of lower yields.
Honestly though, more labor and lower yields with the promise that future generations will have healthy soil is a reasonable trade off to me.
