IMHO one should only spam machines if required by the sizing 
(https://www.bacula.lat/bacula-sizing/?lang=en), or for network optimization 
(e.g. a SD closer to the FDs in a remote network). A SD is sufficient to backup 
about 400 machines. 
Other than that you will use more resources and have a larger surface of 
possible vulnrerabilities (the oposite of the hardening technique). But again, 
it is just my opinion. 
If you still need to make this splti I would go for option "A. Hosting 
bacula-dir and PostgreSQL together on one host, bacula-sd on another host", 
because it will be more pratical to manage the database creation and 
configuration, one less network service and a little bit safer. Director and DB 
also require different types of machines resources.
