Great stuff, Chris. The feeling that we are being destructive when we explore the realities of complex systems is common. IME There's always a balance to be struck in term of what happens next: sometimes, it's good to sit with the emptied landscape; sometimes it's better to explore actions in this newly acknowledged uncertainty. It depends on the team and the context, doesn't it? But it's worth respecting the feeling, however fleetingly.
Just one small point - Grune Heinrich wasn't an existentialist novel. It was much earlier: generally agreed to be part of the Germanic Poetic Realism movement.
Don’t just do something, stand there!

Thanks Mark. No idea why I called it existentialist.
