Failure Risk & Retries
Increased Routing Fees
Splitting payments across nodes might increase the attack surface for topology inference
More moving parts means more chances for partial failure.
One path fails and the whole atomic payment must be retried, possibly multiple times, increasing latency and potential costs especially if some nodes charge for failed attempts.
Each part of the multi-part payment may take a separate path through the Lightning Network, and each hop on each path charges a base fee plus a proportional fee.
more parts = more hops = potentially higher total fees
