xdist might not be such a bad fit. It has several ways of distributing the tests to processes: all tests to each process, distributed etc. It also already re-starts processes. So you might be able to write an xdist hook to chunk the tests in the way you like, re-running failed tests etc. I'm saying this all with last time having worked on xdist O(years) ago though, so hey.
