For the record, this hasn't been a problem for us any more. Successfully running Flink 1.6.0.
We set "web.timeout: 120000" in flink-conf.yaml, but so far I've gathered that this setting doesn't have anything to do with heartbeat timeouts (?). Most likely the heartbeat timeouts were caused by some temporary network level issues on our clusters. Thanks for all the comments.
