Etc... I think the only things that difficult to simulate would be control plane outages for testing CI/CD pipelines--though CI/CD pipelines generally are not production critical and probably aren't worth testing directly. If you want to test recovery/repair operations when CI/CD is down you can just prohibit the victim from using it to fix things. For non-automated API calls, you could just say that X API is down for the duration of the test
