Is there any way to keep state between runs? If so, and assuming test failures tend to be fixed reasonably quicly, maybe only change the seed if there are no failures? You'd probably still not want to change it at every run even when no tests fail (test success can be as intermittent as test failure), so maybe change it weekly or monthly whenever there are no failures?
