If the DDoS is from residential proxies and high volume it becomes a real problem to shut down.

It can't be shutdown if the means are there, if the means are superior from the attacker than the target, then it can remain permanently offline. Talking from experience.
I have personally been involved with law enforcement in foreign countries that have raided houses with shotguns and flash bangs against Command and Control (C2) infra.

BGP FlowSpec helps a lot to prevent shunting the target IP/route completely, it's not as bad as the old days.
