"A network where devices eventually become existential threats is a network that eventually ceases to exist." I imagine this only if these devices can't be disconnected. Life creates its own existential threats in a lot of parts of the "network", but they are contained or fixed eventually. Diversity is the key, and even though all life we know has the same fundamental building blocks, so far it worked out. The internet is not that fundamentally different. So instead of working on ways to increase maintenance, continue to make the internet a highly diverse place.
