With a typical Redis or RabbitMQ backed durable queue you’re not guaranteed to get the job back at all after an unexpected shutdown. That quote is also a little incorrect—producer liveness is tracked the same way, it’s purely how “orphaned” jobs are rescued that is different.

"jobs that are long-running might get rescued even if the producer is still alive" indicates otherwise. It suggests that jobs that are in progress may be double-scheduled. That's a feature that I think shouldn't be gated behind a monthly pro subscription; my unpaid OSS projects don't justify it.
