Yes I agree. I would say health check endpoints are still very useful, and complement what you are offering here. When something is down and there is a panic (but trying to stay calm) having a barrage of checks to play the "Sherlock Holmes" game is useful. If for example your service says "Mongo is up" but I also see "Mongo Healthcheck is down" it is probably a configuration (connection string) issue or maybe a network issue. Without your check elimination would take longer.
