Using a basic project with 1 app and 1 lib, using AGP 7.4.0 alpha 2, we see the following manifest files after a build:

$ find . -name AndroidManifest.xml
./app/build/intermediates/merged_manifest/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
./app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
./app/build/intermediates/packaged_manifests/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
./app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
./mylibrary/build/intermediates/merged_manifest/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
./mylibrary/build/intermediates/aapt_friendly_merged_manifests/debug/aapt/AndroidManifest.xml
./mylibrary/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

The fact that we have 3 intermediate manifests in the app and (more importantly) 2 in the library is probably something we can optimize, in some cases.

The most important aspect here is the library as we need this for scaling. If the reason to have 2 is something we can put behind an opt-in feature that would be better.

Though it's a bit more detailed with the minimum necessary to reproduce.
