I think when we have applications that explicitly rely on requesting

A good measure of the network's effectiveness is to manually insert
keys at one node, and request those keys from another node,
preferably one that is as far as possible from the first in the
network topology, while monitoring the success rate.

That is probably true. But there needs to be a time lag to establish
whether there is a problem with the data not keeping up with the
location swaps.

A good test will insert a bunch of CHKs, and then request them over a period of time, say, one an hour for a week. That way, if retrievability decreases with time, we will see the extent of this problem.
