Well, there would be two instances of ATS running, one as the "server" and another as the test object. I think the bigger problem is that your testing is much less reliable, since errors could get dropped between the two instances of the same software, or be hard to track down. You get better results with different code bases interacting, because the error tend to be different. Is the micro server maintenance that much of a burden? As far as I know, it's mostly been about performance tweaks rather than normal maintenance.
