Regarding "And most important, the problem of retries. The fediverse is a jungle of overloaded, fallen, slow servers. Activity messages should be stored somewhere to be retried later, probably after a timer. This is much harder to manage from a CGI, that only runs on demand."

Is there a requirement in the ActivityPub specification regarding retries? E.g. for how long should a server try to deliver messages to instances that time out?

No. Every implementation does retries in its own way. Specifically, #snac has some knobs to tune these retries, like a maximum number and different timeouts.
