Very curious what type of work you're doing where atomic tasks can run for weeks at a time.

We have something like this, not weeks but days. Linear programs, integer math, using IBM Cplex to schedule "people" to do "things" at the ideal time.
In our case, data migration. Resumable, sometimes dies because of various reasons (or just infra rescaling happening), but takes very long to run.
