Hi, Personnaly I use --partial option, preventing from retrieving data severall times if it fails: it works like a charm for me.

An option "retry n times" would make sense only for some very special situations. I am not sure if there are some, but you surely have to do a full restart-from-beginning if the other side does not respond any longer. And "retry n times" would make no sense in almost all cases of other errors where rsync currently is aborting the whole thing... So I guess it is up to find concrete situations next where the idea would make sense in practice. Error code 12 subcase "max sessions" looks like a candidate, but you win an entry in the server admin's /etc/hosts.deny if you do not pause at that point.
