What do you guys recommend as a good way to continue work undisrupted when GitHub goes down? A second remote mirror?

A second mirror doesn't really help - when github goes down, the code should still be available locally on your computer. The things that become truly available when github dies are all the non-git features: issues, PRs, etc...

There are several ways to work around this, but none are really satisfying.

Use self-hosted repos like gitlab or fossil, and then mirror the public parts to github.
Git or fossil mesh.
