Does anyone have real-life experience running TCP over link-level ARQ
with a long delay (i.e. GEO satellite) link? I'm curious about the
impacts on RTO of ARQ-induced jitter that comes in half-second
multiples. What about effects of initial RTO settings?

Even for radio links where this isn't true, I still feel pretty
strongly that TCP should not have to be "educated" about noise-induced
errors on wireless links when there exists a much more focused,
effective and cleanly-layered solution to the problem: link-level ARQ
and FEC. If the link layer is going to the effort to generate a "link
level error" message to tell TCP to retransmit, why shouldn't it just
retransmit the packet itself?
