Surely it's as much effort whether circuits repeat or not? Don't you still

everything traced right, even if a quick visual inspection might make it
appear that there's a lot of repetition?
Actually, if you'll let me use a BGA rework
oven so I can remove said
chips and get to the connections, and provided I have data on the chips,
yes. It'd be a lot easier to work out a board with such chips on than a
board with, say , 1000 discrete transistors on it.
A modern board that has chips that are listed in a databook? Ha!
I'll take the 1000 transistor board--it's more likely to be 2 layers
and most likely with circuits that repeat.
