Where it refuses work

OtlpExporter stops the work with an early return when !this.config.enabled || this.spans.length === 0.

When something fails

OtlpExporter handles failure in 2 places: it logs it and continues in 1, and discards it silently in 1. A failure discarded silently leaves no trace for whoever debugs this later.
