I'd like to understand the failure model a bit better.

Your assumption seems to be that if an upload breaks, it breaks cleanly, i.e. all data that have been received by the server are fine up to the last byte.
That hasn't always been my experience, in particular with broken hotel NATs etc., but it may be good enough if there is some post-resumption check.

The other extreme is doing an HTTP version of rsync, which I think would solve a lot of problems at the same time.
