In my experience the distinctions of the test pyramid are not great given the fractal nature of well designed systems. I find it much easier follow a general guide of writing very few expensive tests and very many cheap tests. That is also more understandable to business people.

Models like the test pyramid tend to lose their usefulness once we gain enough practical experience with the subject area. I still think the test pyramid is something we should all learn and understand, if only to get across the point that there are ways to judge the cost of a test before you’ve even written it.
