What about these timeouts?

I would just use the defaults.
What are reasonable values for x, y and z, and when are they used?
If there is a low-level error, I'd like iscsi to detect this quickly and
reconnect right away. (this will happen when there's a failover). Will
the following settings work for this purpose:
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 2
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 2
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 86400
Yes.
I'll use this then.
Per my understanding: This will ping the server every 2. seconds, and
wait 2 seconds for a reply. If a connection problem is discovered, the
client will try for 24 hours (86400 seconds) to reestablish a connection
before giving up and returning IO errors to higher layers.
Is this correct? From your description it seems like replacement_timeout
Yes.
= 0 would cause immediate IO errors in case of connection problems? Or
did I misunderstand?
Yeah, on newer versions 0 causes the IO to be failed immediately. I
wrote that wrong before.
Was it different on old versions?
Yes, it was different in older versions. If your iscsid.conf does not
have that info about -1 and 0, then you have older tools and those tools
did not let you set the value to 0. If you did the iscsi tools would
spit out an error in /var/log/messages saying it was an invalid value
and that it was going to use the default 120 instead. And if you tried
to use -1 then it could overflow and you end up with all kinds of weirdness.
