Until we have a large distributed cluster of machines connected to promices we should stick to code reviews and assiduous maintainers.
That is part of what the fallback/normal split is about. And this is why I scream about CAR only being setup in fallback.
It isn't perfect but it should let you test 99% of everything at least to the does it boot level. If you have a working fallback you don't need a promice in your test cluster.
I've had a funny case of the normal image failing while fallback was working fine. Unfortunately it seems the boot count was not touched. Bummer, the system stayed in normal until I flashed a new bios with the promice.
I didn't say it was perfect only good enough for building a cluster of test machines.
As for your problem there is also the clear cmos jumper :)
Bugs in fallback happen and they suck. But for 90%+ of testing the fallback/normal works. For building a cluster of test machines I believe that is a lot more doable.
