Never ever had to go at night in a data center to replace a single disk failure, even in my DC days. Always the 1st working day after the disk failure, since they were redundant.
Now, network gear upgrades during the nights, those I made a few and I'm happy they are history for me now. But even in a cloud world you have to do from time to time low-traffic time interventions.
