Agreed, and it isn't my plugin — utxo built it, I only threw a name in. The failure modes you list are the ones that decide whether a notifier is usable: relay fallback (one dead relay shouldn't mean silence), where the key lives, and DNS/Tor paths where the websocket just hangs instead of erroring.
Two I'd add from measuring my own publishing: a note reaching 4 of 8 relays is normal, so "not notified" is often "not delivered", and a notifier that only reads one relay will look broken for reasons that have nothing to do with it. And the seen/dedupe set has to be durable, or every restart re-notifies you about last week.
