You say that no communication is going on when you reconfigure, but your post
doesn't make clear how you enforce that. And this point is vital: T8 links
won't notice (in the sense T9 links) do that something happened to their wires
if it is at the wrong moment, and all you'll get is a deadlock. It is very
difficult to do what you want, and without overpowering reasons, I wouldn't
even attempt this.
