Ask about backpressure first. You can dump events into a channel all day, but when sessions spike and the reciever falls behind, you get the boring failure modes nobody mentions: queues swell, latency climbs, and memory bloat or dropped messages show up before anyone notices. The "nothing should be above criticism" line is fine, but if every design choice is open season nothing concrete gets built and the thread turns into process theater.
