Curious, how often do you see a flaky test in your system? In my past experience at one of the mid-size startups, we used to get a new flaky test almost on a weekly basis in a monorepo. We started the process of actually flagging them as ignored (we created a separate tag for flaky tests), but later realized that the backlog of fixing flaky test never came down.

In another case observed, devs just got used to rerunning the entire suite (the flakiness here was about 10-20%)
