Good read! This sounds similar to the work I did [1] on the Datadog Agent, especially regarding the concept of each resource having its own circuit breaker. My implementation is a bit different though, instead based on exponential decay like BGP Route Flap Damping [2]. It matches our use case a bit better and is easier to reason about.
