I would humbly suggest that the real threat of ReDos vulnerabilities isn't so much the denial of service itself, but the human resources that are consumed investigating and responding to what may appear to be random failures on the affected properties.
For instance, imagine that an attacker has two vulnerabilities ready to unleash on a target, one of them a ReDos and the other an RCE. The ReDos could conceivably provide cover by causing minor mischief while the real attack goes unnoticed.
