Yes, even a factory process often isn’t a chain because e.g. a workstation may take inputs from multiple previous workstations and combine them.
Do you have a specific limit in mind re non-linear systems? I’m not clear on what the problem is.
The limit is on feasibility of mapping to most real-world situations, and complexity of calculation to determine how big a bottleneck in what conditions something is.
