with a motor, then a CB is permissible.

It is POSSIBLE that any circuit in the airplane can
become overloaded. It's also possible that any circuit
in the airplane can become simply inoperable. I would
presume that worrisome things like landing gear have
some means for extension that are not dependent on
power . . .is this not the case in your airplane?
Quote: | If it is a non-varying load, such as a light, no reset

????? what's non-varying have to do with it? If its
a system/device that's exceptionally useful in reducing
risk for comfortable termination of flight, then it's
customary to have a plan-B for dealing with the loss
of that system.
If it's "critical", then you better have a back up
for total loss of that system irrespective off
root cause. To limit the failure studies to nuisance
tripping of a breaker leaves a lot of rocks un-turned.
