We've good tools to measure network performance under stress, by the simple 
expedient of stressing it, but is there a good approach I could recommend to my 
company to monitor a bunch of reasonably modern links,  without the measurement 
significantly affecting their state?

I don't mind increasing bandwidth usage, but I'm downright grumpy about adding 
to the service time: I have a transaction that times out for gross slowness if 
it takes much more that an tenth of a second, and it involves a scatter-gather 
interaction with at least 10 customers in that time.

I'm topically interested in bloat, but really we should understand "everything" 
about our links. If they can get the bloats like cattle, they can probably get the gout, 
like King Henry the Eighth (;-))

My platform is Centos 8, and I have lots of Smarter Colleagues to help.
