You're right, I'd missed that side effect of greylisting. It does require a particular set of circumstances to hit a problem from it, not already being whitelisted together with connection failures over the period for first few retries. I suppose for a production server you're now stuck with needing a high value or zero for ratio and a high number of retries. For me, I have three NotifyTryPattern points set and non appearance or otherwise seems a good enough way of indicating when an email has been sent.
