There is a rule of thumb regarding when you need
a conductor, which is
about when the the band exceeds 8 people. It is not the anarchy that
naturally evolves, but the distance between the furthermost band members
causing the problem.
It's rarely done these days, but in the 19th century it was quite normal
for a symphonic orchestra to play without a conductor. That's the origin
of the title 'concert master' for the first violin player. But of course you don't do Mahler's 8th that
way.
