ARIA landmarks become useless if you have too many of them.
I would say if you have more than 8 or 9 landmarks on a webpage,
unless the webpage is absolutely huge, they stop being useful. I wold
stick with no more thn 5 as a rule of thumb.
If you start wrapping individual controls or elements in a landmark,
you definitely make them a lot less useful.
