One thing I'm curious about: what happens when a gRPC worker goes quiet mid execution?

Does the caller find out, or is it purely fire and forget? I hit a similar decision point building a memory layer for AI agents ended up skipping retry logic entirely because the coordination overhead just wasn't worth it for my use case. Wondering if you landed in the same place or have a different take.

Sub-millisecond dispatch locally is a good sign. The number I'd really want to see is how that holds up once you've got 20-30 workers in the mesh that's usually where the interesting degradation starts.
