vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term returns document_count = 0 intermittently for fresh Version 2

[NinjutsuSunrise]

Expected/Desired Behavior

After running vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index --indexables="term" --version="next" the document_count for Version 2 of the Index should be accurate via vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term.

Actual Behavior

After running vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index --indexables="term" --version="next" the document_count for Version 2 of the Index is intermittently 0 via vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term. First 0, then 253681, then 0, then 253681 and staying consistent after some time.

As an aside, vip @example.env -- wp vip-search health validate-terms-count was always accurate. Still, the buggy document_count introduces confusion and doubt.

Note: vip -v = 3.7.0

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index --indexables="term" --version="next"
2. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term (was 0)
3. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term (was 253681)
4. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search health validate-terms-count (no problem)
5. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term (was 0)
6. vip @example.env -- wp vip-search index-versions list term (was 253681)

Hmm I can't seem to reproduce. The only thing that comes to mind is if the ES request fails (which is why it's intermittently happening): https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/blob/44e6293555331be77646e30ee2df97c961fcd34c/search/includes/classes/class-health.php#L1168
