Max restarts is a big sharp edge. I think anybody running Erlang in production must have hit it, probably a couple times. For things that I expect to fail regularly, but have no business bringing the system down, I reflexively sleep in the init, so it would only trigger max restarts if I really messed up. If it's consistently failing, it'll log enough to be visible, but it's not like this is an ideal way to handle it.
