The real problem with downtime is when all systems are down at the same time.

If Jira is down fifteen minutes a day that rarely affects me. I have other tasks in my work queue that I can substitute. Worst case with multiple outages there’s always documentation I promised someone. But when the entire Atlassian suite goes tits up at the same time, it gets harder for me to keep a buffer of work going. Getting every app in your enterprise using the same storage array is a good way to go from 5% productivity loss to 95%.
