Most of the time, system administrators don't have time to hunt for the
reasons because something else is going to happen (like a UPS dropping
power) or a dozen other things. And once that is fixed the server is going
to stay up until the next major crap I need to have everything rebooted/off
in an outage window. Theoretically this testing should be done in in a
staging environment, but I have only seen 3 places in 40 years with any
time or ability to do so. Most of the places I have worked have had
'staging' environments which are really spare parts for production or
actually in some level of production for other departments to 'stage' their
code.

I think 30 seconds is going to be a better fit for most services. Ones
which need a longer time can override it in their service files and those
will be easier to find.
