Of course it depends. My point is, it's too unpredictable, even if you assume certain patterns are better or worse. That's why systems with RAII are much better by design in this aspect.
The only thing to do, is get on your coconut radio and wait for the planes to bring you some cargo. While you are waiting, Kafka is a useful MQ for event processing and is being used to solve real world problems today.
RAII in C++ is a good pattern, but it does not avoid performance penalty of cascading release of resources, impossibility of using exceptions in destructors or thread contention with shared resources.
