Fallbacks are useful when they are boring: same intent, same data boundary, reversible result, and a clear way to check the outcome. A read-only mirror, cached copy, or secondary provider can keep a product moving without making the user think too hard. But some fallbacks should stop and ask. If the change affects cost, visibility, identity shown to other people, external sharing, deletion, payment, or a result that cannot be undone, it is not just a convenience path anymore. That is a decision. How do teams define this line in practice? I would keep a short list of pre-approved fallbacks and make everything else ask for confirmation. Maybe that is too conservative, but silent surprises are hard to explain later.
