We have a few reports that existing Weak* VarHandle tests are still flaky, for 
example on large AArch64 machines or small RISC-V machines.

The flakiness is intrinsic to the nature of Weak* operations under tests, that 
can spuriously fail. The last attempt to fix these was 
[JDK-8155739](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8155739). We need to 
strengthen these a bit more.

The actual values depend on the successful testing on known-failing platforms. 
I ballparked bumping the attempts 5x and introducing the delay would help 
without exploding test time in worst cases.
