Does Exactly-Once processing impact recovery latency during state restoration?

In high-volume data processing pipelines, maintaining state consistency during a failure requires restoring a snapshot and replaying events from the last checkpoint. To prevent duplicate side effects in downstream sinks, the system must implement idempotency to ensure exactly-once processing guarantees. There is a technical trade-off between the frequency of
