> In this sense, I suppose TFA isn't arguing against multiprocessing per-se, but against the specific type that implicitly includes all of the current process state (which has both up- and down-sides).

You don't have to suppose anything, TFA specifically says that you should use posix_spawn or immediately exec() after forking.

It doesn't imply or hint, let alone say, that threads are superior, it only mentions them because they interact badly with fork() and that's the issue they'd hit. It's not like threads are the only thing which interacts badly with fork.
