> when you have an outage, your stuff is tied to physical servers and they can't easily be migrated

I don't see how that follows? Could you please explain?

I run my stuff on Hetzner physical servers. It's deployed/managed through ansible. I can deploy the same configuration on another Hetzner cluster (say, in a different country, which I actually do use for my staging cluster). I can also terraform a fully virtual cloud configuration and run the same ansible setup on that. Given that user data gets backed up regularly across locations, I don't see the problem you are describing?
