What I'm suggesting is the decision on what you do in the case of long tail performance problems, is not something you can back into.

If you are going to have timeouts with logic, that has down stream implications. If you are going to have truly independent event loops, that is a fundamental architectural decisions.

None of those things match the "make it work, then make it fast". You literally have to design that into the system from jump street as it is part of the definition of "works".
