Isn't the common wisdom that you should have them enabled, but staggered across hours/days?

Not a huge Debian/Ubuntu user but I think the systemd timer that triggers the unattended updates has a random delay added to it. I don't know of it's hours or just seconds.

I believe it's staggered across hours by default and it seems that Canonical might have been able to at least stop pushing out the bad update even before they had a fix

Probably better you have rolling A/B replacements that stop the replacement run if the replacement doesn't come up.

This is mostly an in-place upgrade issue?
