Then I believe you're solving the wrong problem. Your claim is
on the one hand that multiple instances are too complex, and users
want something simple to avoid congested output queues.
Then you decide that the simple thing is too hard, and you want
them to configure a second set of transports for deferred mail and
hand tune these all within a single Postfix instance.
Somewhere the original motivation is completely lost, and the
solution is *more* complex than setting up another instance as a
fallback queue and solves a subset of the possible issues (e.g.
not active queue saturation, just high transport latency).
You need to decide which problem you're solving. If you want
something simple enough for the naive user, it needs to actually
be simple. If you want a power tool for the experienced user, give
it power and flexibility.
