This seems like it sort of ties in with NN Taleb's idea of "Anti-fragile" [1].
Perhaps also Chesterton's fence [2].
Maybe also the whole premature-optimization thing [3].
And of course the too-clever-by-half coyotes [4].
Really maybe it just comes down to "be wary of making changes that reduce resiliency."
I was hoping to come up with something cohesive with this comment, but really I guess I just agree with what you say.
And I think there are a bunch of people sort of circling around the same idea, which I don't think we've really quite landed on a precise definition of, just as you say.
