> our application (unknowingly) depended on that

Ah, the good old "unrealised infrastructure dependency" - nice to see you my old friend. People that have never been bitten by one of these never built anything worth talking about :)

It's worth observing that Gatling (load testing tool) supports HTTP/2. Once you've got the hang of it, you can fairly easily build load profiles to simulate situations like these. Probably wouldn't have helped you prevent the situation - unknown-unknowns being what they are; but you might find it helpful during remediation.
