I'm on board now.

(I've done a mental switch of likening this rather to existing IO
control (higher variance of quanta size, worse preemption, limited
effect) than CPU control.)

My suggestion: simply skip offlined drmcgs instead of restarting whole
iteration. (A respawning cgroup-wrapped job or intentionally adverse
respawner could in my imagination cause that.)
