 I would say "keep it simple". Or "keep keeping it simple" ;-)

 Introducing background tasks in Trac seems to be quite overkill, and would
 probably lead to create a new bunch of hard-to-solve issues, to fix up the
 issue at the wrong place (in Trac, rather than at the MTA level).

 I don't see the point to introduce serialization in email notifications,
 whereas the MTAs are already able to receive concurrent notifications.

 Trac is not a MTA debugging agent. To detect long latency issues, it's far
 easier (and safer...) to retrieve the time before the SMTP connection and
 after the notification, and log a warning message when the time difference
 reaches an upper limit.
