No intention to underestimate issues faced by SMNs, but wouldn't it be better for QoL just to prevent pet death in party content altogether rather than re-introduce sustain? I.e. in any non-solo duty the pet is non-interactible: takes no damage, doesn't count towards damage split or soak mechanics, doesn't gain hate etc.
