These periods of degenerated functionality should be short and
infrequent albeit critical for machine recovery. Would you rather have a
slower ssh login (the machine will recover) or drive/fly to Zanzibar to
physically reboot the machine?

It will not work, since you can not mark openssh sockets as those which
are able to get memory from reserved pool. So admin unable to check the
system status and make anything to turn system's life on.

This is incorrect, please see my previous email.
