This doesn’t change the existence of a budget constraint, though. The partner organization, especially a grant funder like JPAL/IPA, will grant you a certain amount of their resources to use. I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to optimize the use of their resources.
100% the original post stands, in any scenario we would want to optimise use of resources. I don’t think JPAL/IPA is generally a funder though—they do the research themselves so they are the ones to convince ;).
