Hi,
this was adressed by upstream in [1]
and by adopted by Debian/Ubuntu in version 2.4.4-1 
      * Further changes to debian/[email protected] copied from upstream
        - Enable Restart=on-failure
        - Use KillMode=process
which in releases means Bionic and later is already fixed in regard to your 
request to consider restarting it automatically.

For Xenial IMHO the SRU [2] policy forbids this change as it could
change behavior in an unexpected way without the users noticing.
Fortunately users - like you - which conciously want this change to be
active on xenial can just add the lines via `systemctl edit <service>`

  RestartSec=5s
  Restart=on-failure
