Agreed. In our situation we have to deal with lots of different
implementations. I suppose in a pure WebRTC world things could be different.

Perhaps, although our data is exclusively from the server side, where we
have excellent connectivity. We have no circuit breaker implementation
running client-side on the wild public Internet. I guess the results
there could be different, especially for peer-to-peer, wild public
Internet to wild public Internet connections.
