Balance One loosing internet connectivity seemingly random, cannot recover

And I can confirm that it is related to one of the two WANs dropping, even if only briefly, then the router cannot switch to the other one but “thinks” there is no WAN and has no internet connectivity anymore. Why would the Balance One do this, when it is configured to fail-over to the other WAN in the outbound policies?

This would be consistent with my experiences, in which I find that a VLAN with an Outbound Priority set, will sometimes stop working for no reason. A quick test is to revert to firmware 8.4.1 and see if your problems go away.

If so, you can add yet another person to the long list of us having serious troubles with firmware 8.5.0 and 8.5.1.
