Those are all great points! At Svix (we do webhooks as a service), we disallow redirects because of what you mentioned above, and because it's also just bad for performance (for both sides) and is most likely a configuration error anyway.

Resolution and timeouts: the aiohttp library for Python is slightly better in terms of letting you configure these things, though it's better to just use a sending proxy that does it all for you and is also located in an isolated VPC to make sure that you're protected.
