The scenario where device attach fails is not the problem - you can get the same level of reliabilty to that by simply updating the global metadata before & after hotplug in the same way. What is difficult is when libvirt fails to persist the XML config on disk or when libvirt crashes part way through the operation, and other akward failure scenarios unrelated to QEMU itself.
