This seems like a fairly terrible idea. For reliability you normally want to get events off devices as quickly as possible. What about instead having a two-step event tracking protocol where the device pings a server with a list of event/properties that it is tracking and the server responds back with a whitelist of what it wants to see? This would allow collecting huge amounts of data on the edge devices while only sending what the servers want at that time. Hell, the white list could even be CDN served over HTTP.
