It's a great way of thinking about resiliency and fault tolerance, but it's also definitely on the very mature end of the systems engineering spectrum.

If you know things will break when you start making non-deterministic configuration changes, you aren't ready for chaos engineering. Most companies never get out of this state.

Having a few fault injection scenarios is baby steps. Next would be Jepsen-style testing, and most mature would be formal verification.
