Is There a Tod-Dence in Languages?
The reason that some of these languages tend to develop tone is to actually compensate for simpler syllables. But I think this goes a little bit because what we're talking about is what happens as you approach the ideal. You don't have to go to the ideal isolating language. No, Indonesian is by no means an ideal. It has plenty long multisyllabic words all the time.
