In the research environment, we have frequent cases where a user is associated with multiple tenants. For example, when you are finishing work on a previous project but are mainly working on the new one.
As we move towards domain/tenant/user, we need to ensure that the tools support multi-tenant per user. Correct accounting is critical. This does require extra code but it is relevant given the use cases.

One of the major complication I see in the API is that users can be associated with multiple tenants. What is the benefit of this? What functionality would be lost if a human user merely had to use a different account with each tenant? There are numerous issues with multi-tenant users. For example, if a user is associated with multiple tenants, who resets the user's password?
