I worked in healthcare where our EMR went into downtime for two hours on daylight transition days. It was extremely disruptive as we had to switch to a paper process for that time period that needed to get reconciled with the EMR at the end of the shift.

Unless you have a dedicated team doing that, preventative reboots and various “workarounds” sound great on paper for administrators but make for a shitty experience for people doing the actual work.

Difference berween your examole and the reboot requirements of various aircraft: aircraft reboots hapoen in controlled environments, on the ground when the aircraft is out of operations and is done be dedicated, trained and certified maintenance staff. Those reboots, while funny on first glance, do not interfere at all with aircraft operations.
