Why not write the last known state onto the ESP module and use that state when powered up. (Be carefull there is a limited amount of flash writes possible on the ESP module, read the spec's first)

Sending state updates every minute for many devices floods the air with RF. http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... d+multiple is an old discussion on sending multiple commands.

Yes. This is option. But still prothesis. I can connect external i2c eeprom to save states and restore them after restart. But this is not solution. If esp go down for more time - outputs can not match witch domoticz.
About RF flood. In domoticz schould be a tick for any devive "resend state every X minutes". So - not all devices get periodic updates. Second - i2c, spi, extenders need only one hex value as command for all outputs, esp one command per output. This not generate a high traffic even on many connected devices. But if we have a lots outputs a and some of them reset/hang/etc this can make frustration. Now we need login to gui and need correcting output state, better if domoticz self make this - periodic updates i think is most easy and efficient solution for this.
