Are those retry values spec'd anywhere? For GSC we use those because the 
GSC specs say to retry in 50ms intervals for up to 2 secs to give time 
for the GSC to do proxy handling. Does it make sense to do the same in 
this case, given that there is no proxy involved?

The first check is redundant because lbfw->valid can't be true if 
late_bind->component_added is false with the current code.

This log seems a bit too specific, also given that you also have logs 
inside the work
