It sounds like you are still struggling with the symptoms of an
unreliable network. Can you reproduce any of these problems when using
the loopback interface to avoid the network?

There have been some fixes to problems in the AMQP connection
establishment logic recently. This probably wont fix your problem, but
it might be worth trying with the latest version of the Java client, or
waiting for the next release:
