My understanding is that these electronics need to be radiation hardened (eg; RADHARD) to prevent them from misbehaving in ways far worse than the Belgian bit flipping incident (https://radiolab.org/podcast/bit-flip).

I wonder if we couldn't "harpoon" debris with lower cost tethers like the ones tested on TEPCE, but optimized for drag rather than power generation?
