Rabbit holes are curiousity blackholes. I Advice people to take rabbit holes as often as possible. Rabbit holes are the essence of unstructured learning and general learning. But remember that you take rabbit holes out of curiosity. There is a high chance that you might get lost and you don't get anything productive from it. But in general I try to dissociate productivity from rabbit holes. Rabbit holes are for joy and curiosity. They are not for productivity and outcomes.

So if you are exploring a topic for work related or outcome related it better to tag these rabbit holes and visit them later. If you do decide what is your exit logic. These are like Recursive functions. They will take up a lot of your mental RAM. So you need to set a limit to the depth. If I go five levels deep I need head back.

I wish our browsers gave us this kind of vie (Don't worry we will build it as a part of Learning Paths. Each link is a new world. It adds new perspective. It open up a new rabbit hole. With each link you go one level deeper. So we need a visualisation which gives us the fall path we took like the width and depth.
