Use multiple instances when your Postfix system is tasked with
multiple requirements that are tricky to implement in a single
monolithic configuration. Thus, for example, it is not uncommon
to use multiple instances to separate local submission, inbound and
outbound mail on an edge (DMZ) Postfix server. This scales the
number of instances with the number of problems you're trying
to solve.
Multiple instances are less compelling to separate additional
copies of the same problem. Thus, it generally makes less
sense to spin up an instance per domain, unless the separate
domains have vastly different mail handling requirements.
More typically it is not too cumbersome to handle minor
variations between domains with suitable address rewriting
tables.
