I think the 80/20 solution for reliable workflows is:

- Ensure the workflow is idempotent - if it stops or fails at any point, you should be able to start it from scratch and skip / happily redo various elements.

- Store the messages which trigger workflows.

- Track failures (if your log aggregation is good, even that's enough to start).

Then when the odd thing fails (or sometimes a bunch of things fail, because e.g. a core integration goes down) you can lookup the messages and have a little script or tool to go and re-queue them. This is an easy starting point that can keep you going for a long time until you really approach huge scale.
