While working on etcd cert rotation, I'm occasionally tripping over the thresholds for pathological events failures ("pathological event should not see excessive RequiredInstallerResourcesMissing secrets").

Besides the ones we have to fix in cluster-etcd-operator, I've also seen plenty of them in kube-api-server-operator. Similar pattern can be seen in kube-controller-manager-operator and kube-scheduler-operator, albeit less often.

From the logs (attached) it seems to me that this is caused by a secrets informer not being synchronized before the controller actually runs.

Some test runs from our payload testing:

4.16, but I had a bug for a flaky test with this as early as 4.7, 4.8 (OCPBUGS-1128 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031564)    

2/8 runs on average, it's a race condition that is becoming more prevalent after merging https://github.com/openshift/cluster-etcd-operator/pull/1177

    1. checkout https://github.com/openshift/cluster-etcd-operator/pull/1177
    2. run payload tests a few times
    3. observe failures
   

flaky/failing test runs due to RequiredInstallerResourcesMissing

no flaky RequiredInstallerResourcesMissing anymore :)     

In case we don't want to tackle it, I've prepped an increase for the time: being in https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/28557

I can also add the other components, if necessary.
