It depends on what the work is or who the cooks are.

Both. If the hands doing the work understand completely that they simply do what needs to be done, and keep their own personal opinions out of the decision making process--then many hands do make light work. However--when the hands involved start feeling that they can influence the outcome of the final product, and start disagreeing with how or what is being done--then that's definitely a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.
And you have just described my life this week.

With a hand which is a deft one, single hand is always the best. Too many cooks indeed spoils the broth!

In he first case: Cooking in a expert kitchen is a series of coordinated projects which choose intense point administration and inventive determination making through a single supervisor (talked approximately as a chef.) So the chefs proverb refers to a surplus of determination makers/authority figures the place one is mandatory. this would carry approximately disagreements and the purpose, the recipe, can become at a loss for words. interior the 2nd case: The "artwork" is theory to be a series of uncoordinated asynchronous tactics comprehensive through workers. So the the "mild artwork" proverb refers to workers working independently and generally under their very own initiative yet with an common purpose.

Neither are true because to be true is to partake in Truth and Truth is eternal and unchanged, so it cannot depend on situation.
Both however are useful as cliches for "management" (those in charge regardless of context) to use pragmatically to attain their goal.

Both. A few more cliches:
- For every winner, there's a loser.
- One man's meat is another man's poison
- The knife cuts both ways
- Can's see the forest for the trees
