Something I don't know how to resolve that I didn't hear you discuss: one of the growth hacking tips I see is to intentionally avoid publishing to subs... Because it penalizes your reach against subs who don't watch anymore.
That should probably change, but I don't know how to square the circle.

Write properties that pair an operation with its opposite, so that you get the results you started with.

To test, generate a random set of operations to add and then check that the end state is what you expect.
It works for removing them too. Just remember to swallow warnings for any inherited effects (between permissions, for example) and only check for the end state.
