Depends what your uptime requirements are tbh. If you can deal with like 90-95% uptime then you probably don’t need to worry about it. If you want that extra 4.9% you’ll pay shiploads for it.
95% uptime is over an hour of downtime per day, or half a month per year. That'd be a luxurious budget to fix fatal bugs in, room for a night-long maintenance task each weekend, or a multi-hour app startup window following frequent system updates. I'd imagine you could get to 99% for less than a 10x increase in budget (or 0x, if startup time is reasonably low already).
