I like the tooltip addition of yours. For more interactive feedback on the canvas I can immediately think of 2 items.
1. Indicator for when backpressure was configured on a connection (although it's now always added by default, maybe less useful). 2. Changing the color of a connection when backpressure has engaged could go a long way. Can go further, gradient color based on how close the connection backlog is to triggering the backpressure controls. Immediately highlights hotspots visually.
