The alternative is that I drastically reduce the number of peerings I
have to improve the chances that my close-friends are able to stay
connected. ... but then I become part of a small subgraph myself and
become more likely a victim of partitioning.

There isn't much point to the darknet model if we must force people to
peer promiscuously in order to maintain global connectivity.
