No, it is for increasing the TPS by utilizing more cores / more machines. So horizontal. But it does not give any reliability benefits since machines do not replicate each others work.
If you don't need more performance - why not replicate the machine and bolt on consistency checks to detect problems? I.e. hash the UTXO set and every other important thing after every block.
