I would see more items to watchlist, as in place of one large item you would have all the
components to worry about.
I don't follow the easier to de-orphanise aspect.
Also don’t see how having to have the reference section on half a dozen sub-articles is
simpler than having the whole list on one. In the extreme case where no reference is used
in multiple sections, it would be roughly the same, where a reference is used across
several sections, which is common, it looks like more work: from a little more, to a lot
more.
Unless I misunderstand your meaning...
Cheers,
Peter

1) Not that I know of, 2) not that I know of, 3) fewer items to watchlist
and maintain (if one creates them), easier to de-orphanize articles, and
easier to curate pieces of large wikipages where it's hard to check the
relevant used references.

How does this splitting make maintenance easier?

Well it is not difficult to imagine when you consider for example line
items in the case of list articles. Many lists could be split into such
line items and kept in a static assembled form by some sort of "assembly
template". Many of these line items are either articles or parts of
articles. Such "line items" may or may not have Wikidata items, may or may
not be suitable for Wikidata items, and may or may not be able to be
structured in any way, shape or form than the one they currently have. I
would like to be able to address these "line items" as "findable editing
snippets" in the wikiverse, possibly curatable by voice activation,
reversing the way we can sometimes get them read to us by Siri/Lexa.

Jane,
I do not understand what parts you would split these things into, or how
they would make Wikipedia easier to curate and edit. Could you link to an
explanation or clarify the concept?
Cheers,
Peter
