How to work with multiple companies within Business Central

One of the selling points of Business Central is it's capability to have unlimited companies within one tenant. A lot of competitors to Business Central have this capability too but they require you to log off one company's environment and then log onto another company's environment. One can only imagine (and Microsoft did) how difficult this must be if your role at your organization requires you to work with multiple companies. That's why with Business Central you can have multiple companies open within multiple browser tabs. There is no more need to log in and out every single time you need to switch to a different company.

Does this require the companies to be within the same Microsoft Tenant?
We are currently Implementing Business Central to our Companies, and we made the decision to move migrate all the companies into the same Tenant.
The company varies from 15 - 50 employees, and we currently have 11 companies (Approximately 300 employees divided over these 11 companies).
There are some benefits by gathering them on the same tenant, but there are also alot of negative sides, especially as it relates to administrating the different users, data, licenses etc, and it makes a potential "Off-boarding" in relation to the lifecycle aspect.

But to my understanding, if you want to leverage the intercompany reporting, you have to use the same tenant?
I don't know if a multi-tenant approach could be a better option for us?
