The fire last year at OVH showed us impressively that it is not a good idea to have your data only in one region. So don't do it and stick to multi-region.

For the case, data on one zone is a problem but one region (multiple zone) isn't a problem, isn't it?
Well, that depends. IIRC, OVH's fire hit multiple floors, and each floor was a "zone" - the power, networking, etc were all independent, but they still had a single core dependency - the building itself.
Oh it's bad.
