The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that you don’t

I trust the DNS - I have extensive DNS experience and our company would be down without a fully functioning DNS infrastructure. Ours works.
FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would rather take
the time to make something as mission critical as DNS work right instead of hiding
the real problem.
FQDNs make it absolutely clear what's going on. Remember, you can't do a backup using a short form name anyway - internally, you're resolving to a fqdn whether you like it or not. You're not only relying on FQDNs, but you're also relying on the search lists configured properly everywhere.
You can take all the short cuts you want, but not taking the short cuts saves you headaches later, as MANY people have found out.
