Two advantages of small multirotor: less current needed per motor so powertrain is lighter overall. One of say 6 fails catastrophically, the crash may not be bad, and it would take a couple failures to drop like a rock because liftoff takes more power than cruise. Autorotate requires a clutch on each prop and a control system for the rotor pitch
