Description

This issue has been migrated from [#15261](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15261).

---

We need a more systematic approach to preventing issues like #15220 from happening.

Ideas include:
* grepping through the source code
* grepping through the matrix.org logs for unexpected stack traces where we block
* some kind of code analysis tooling (which could be reusable for `@cancellable` decorators)
