Granted, I don’t have a good mental model as to how severe an oops is. But if something like a faulty driver for an obscure device can trigger it consistently without much harm for the rest of the kernel, then I can imagine a long running system may eventually hit the limit and panic seemingly out of the blue.

Meanwhile, a timer is terrible for catching normal oops, because if the problem is infrequent enough it goes completely unnoticed while the corruption it causes persists.
