If running debug tests on a single platform is generally sufficient for non-graphics bugs, it might be useful to have the Graphics branch run debug tests on all platforms, for use with graphics checkins. (while running a decreased number of debug tests on the main branches) It's still possible for non-graphics code to expose platform-specific bugs, but it's less likely, so maybe larger regression windows are acceptable for platform-specific bugs in non-graphics code.

Having more branches doesn't necessarily help with consuming less infra resources, unless if the builds will be run with a lower frequency or something.
