Interesting article OP. There was a similar post on Hacker News recently about using this approach on a Postgres database:

- Making Postgres slower (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44704736)

Taking this approach seems to be effective at surfacing issues that otherwise wouldn't show up in regular testing. I could see this being useful if it was standardized to help identify issues before they hit production.
