If you have any server-level hardware bought in the last 20 years or so, it will have the drives in hot-swappable bays. If you then choose to not set it up in RAID, it's just incompetence.

If you're getting bare metal hosting from anywhere including your own colo, you have failover and the ability to order replacements while your system is still running. This is only an issue if you're architecture is fundamentally flawed, in which case you're likely to mess things up whether you're on bare metal or in a cloud.
