Thisssssssssssssss s s s s s!
I will always say that, given an equal hourly capacity, little trains at high frequency > big trains at low frequency.
This is at the core of VAL and ICTS (and tramways, too, which can operate trains close together), and part of why I love them so much.
(I went to go insert a video I think I've shared before, showing sub-minute headways on the Lille VAL, but I think it's been removed from YouTube.)
