no offense intended but this sounds largely like luck based on my personal experience with cloud providers.

No offense taken. :-) It's just our own observation and not backed by any study or such.
Could also be because we're lucky hosting in the Frankfurt data center. I think the popular us east one has more issues generally.

There was the global load balancer outage in November that took many services offline -- ironically the services that make use of a global load balancer for higher availability. But besides that GCP has been reliable as a whole.

I had same experience especially with the "unlimited" offerings. Poor network quality or other issues.
GCP / AWS I've had amazing luck, (not in US-east or similar). I backup but don't do high availability anymore.
At GCP we never had any problems with any outage so far. Even with VMs or the hosted features such as Cloud SQL. Whenever there is a maintenance, the systems keep working seamlessly (they migrate the systems somewhere else whenever they do maintenance work or something).
We never felt the need to create high availability services, because it was never necessary so far (the services have always been available). And we've been hosting there for years.
