Newer versions of the Kubernetes API have support for a Pending state that would skip the backoff queue, and I think this might be helpful / useful. I did (stupidly) try it this weekend (updating library versions) and it led to like, 5 hours of debugging mysterious panics, so yeah, not something we should do soon/first with all the current debugging we still need to do! But I wanted to put a note because I saw it was added recently.
