This is the same risk with any DLQ.

The idea behind a DLQ is it will retry (with some backoff) eventually, and if it fails enough, it will stay there. You need monitoring to observe the messages that can't escape DLQ. Ideally, nothing should ever stay in DLQ, and if it does, it's something that should be fixed.
