It's not clear to me what happens after the OOM. Does the init process restarts the daemon? I would argue that it shouldn't.

If the process stops responding to a healthcheck, it's the scheduler's responsibility (k8s in this case) to handle it. Crashes in this case should be handled in a similar way, whether it's due to OOM or a bug.

Maybe I'm missing another scenario here?

In systemd, this depends on what the Restart option in the service unit is set to. The default is to not restart.
