You could go back to big crews like the old WW2 bombers had. There is a problem with too much information coming at the pilot or even pilot and weapons officer at once which wouldn't be so much of a with bigger crews for a UAV. You wouldn't be limited by aerodynamics on how many people you can cram into a certain size of airframe. You could even specialize with expert pilots handling takeoffs and landings with control switched to average pilots for patrolling.
I agree fully. A bank of folks looking at a bunch of monitors would certainly be better than one set of eyes. There is still no doubt we’d need the full-sized aircraft for missions, but this certainly could help fill gaps.
