RDS has snapshot backups you can create an instance from iirc so you can self fix this kind of issues.

Sure you get downtime all the same but not the waiting for support to solve an instance crash part

Yes, and RDS offers point in time recovery at that.

We've had to use it and can confirm that it works as advertised.
