In embedded systems watchdog timers are often used as a crash mechanism outside of the software itself, which will crash the program if it is not reset. I found this concept of crash-only software pretty neat - time to see if I can apply it.
There's an ongoing discussion on the Systemd issue tracker about making better use of HW watchdogs: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21083
