Fortunately (or non-optimally), our DNS TTLs were 300s (Route 53 default) so our sites were not fully accessible off Zeit for ~5 mins. This wasn't too bad given that our sites were completely inaccessible from Netlify.

One day when we're bigger, we'll extend those TTLs

Short TTLs are bad, but I confess using them in some small scale projects in anticipation of this kind of worst case scenario :)
