I represent a company that firmly believes in the concepts and principals you outline here. Unfortunately we still find that many organizations do not put the required sort of importance on the operational side of BizTalk Server - I actually blogged about this on my blog the other day! We have created a product to make monitoring of BizTalk Server Enterprise solutions even simpler and more effective. The product is called Minotaur, a BizTalk monitoring product that supports proactive and reactive monitoring of BizTalk Enterprise Solutions. The product has a powerful notification engine to ensure support engineers are notified when a failure occurs or when a monitored threshold has been breached. Minotaur also has a cool dashboard that displays the status of the monitored BizTalk environment in real-time.
