I don't think it would happen "extremely rarely". Drops in connectivity happen a lot, especially on cellular connection and this can absolutely happen a lot for some applications. Especially when talking about "offline first" apps.

You have to use another device during that drop of connectivity on cellular connection, and edit the same content. That doesn't happen often.
