Review Comment:
   Well kind of. As mentioned
   
   > But adding a timeout adds a potential bug / risk where we timeout and then 
helix starts purging instances while we are allocating new instances (bad bug 
with nondeterministic behavior)
   
   We put ourselves at risk of having a live instances without an INSTANCE 
config. That would essentially bork the live instance and I don't know that the 
system would auto recover. Although I do think we should send a GTE if this 
call is taking too long
