There is no real safe way to use lock hold timeouts. While a waiter can timeout and possibly handle failing to acquire the lock, there's no generic safe way to steal the lock from the holder after a timeout since the holder may still be accessing the protected resources/have left the resources in an inconsistent state. Adding a wait timeout which generates telemetry on a long wait may be useful for helping catch failures in production, but seizing the lock is almost always the wrong way to go about this.
