How realistic is this for most people/firms though?

I think probably 60-70% of the places I have worked, this sentence " On the occasion there's something that only he can do but he's not in.." would end in "we call his cell".

I was just on a medium-urgent outage the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and 2 teams on the call were calling their on-vacation colleagues for help.

It all comes down to how the company is run. We sell our product vs hosting some SaaS, so outages aren't a big deal. We also are not a young company who "moves fast and breaks things", so showstopping bugs are pretty rare.
