Interesting, i always see attempts to make these types of database tools as super interesting but then I think about all the undocumented edge cases that can come up and they scare me off.
Many many years ago I worked on a monitoring tool that itself needed to be highly available, and we needed a solution like this. Ever since that time I've done everything in my power to avoid it.
What are the real world cases you built this for? And how can someone like me who has been bruised by past experiences get comfortable with it?
