Though a lot of your statements are true the main statement that a whole product isn't sustainable and reliable isn't true. Lots of people (including myself) have been using it for years in all different kind of installations. Try to use Corosync + Pacemaker + CRM Shell. In this case you don't really need to know all the XML details of configuration and you'll be able to use all the modern features of the product. Heartbeat 1.0, which I think you are trying to troubleshoot, has been retired lot of time ago and isn't officially supported, though still shipped.
