> I don’t think you need two servers to do zero downtime upgrades

Absolutely not and I can't understand why I keep hearing this argument. Doing zero downtime upgrades on a single server have been simple since basically forever, run another process on another port, change config, restart front balancer gracefully and there you go.

Sure, it can be done, but that alone isn't enough reason to give up redundancy.
