Or Ousterhout level since we're talking about Raft. His career is amazing with contribution in many different areas of CS -- not to say Lamport's hasn't been.

The comments in this list seem from really smart people.

I used to follow Jepsen https://jepsen.io/ closely. Those tests are quite comprehensive. But I think even those are not sufficient to quantify the quality of Paxos/Raft.

Tools like TLA+ probably require a few months to learn and become proficient.
