I think - no, isn't bad idea. Such ideas just make software bloated.
Your services MUST run all of time, that's why they called services.
If some service doesn't start - it's a big problem, and admin should be
notified about it urgently and fix it (maybe by disabling this service :)).

Runit provide enough features to write such 'plugins' manually - you've
./finish file in which you can check how often it's executed and do
something: stop service, sleep, or send sms to admin.
