I've read somewhere about an idea of implementing all Process Builders that are executing on a single object within a single Process Builder, instead of using multiple ones (IMO this is a similar approach to what is generally done with triggers).
Is this approach possible to maintain over a longer period of time? Have you seen it used successfully? Also, is it better from a certain technical perspective, for example, is it faster?

If you have a great many processes you want to automate, then consolidating them into one flow via
Process Builder
can be a great choice from an organization perspective. Doing so will also give you more granular control over order of execution within the flow. I'm not certain of any other benefits. Specifically, I doubt it will improve performance.A few words of caution:
Process Builder
and a custom built, well optimizedApex Trigger
. Because of this performance hit, I think you need to consider the case where your flow logic fails.
