Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The solver we currently use (SciPy) is not reliable enough, largely because our use cases are too stiff.
Describe the solution you'd like
Anything that Just Works® would be great.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Rewrite in Rust, perform some pre-equilibrations, tweak with SciPy options, etc. None of those should be as simple as the proposed one?
Additional context
The stiffest problems seem to be the ones with equilibria. Maybe we should test more stuff like that as well?
