Sleeps in /etc tend to be there for good reasons, and new ones are
vigorously scrutinized. If you see any that you think are dubious, feel
free to mention them on freebsd-rc@.

In the ports' scripts we tend to be more forgiving, but I've worked with
several maintainers to apply more effective solutions where there is a
good reason to wait for a dependent service to actually be running.

This also brings up a good point, any new rc-alike solution we consider
must have support for scripts in ports that is at least as robust as
what we have now.
