Your right that an HA bar is a higher one. And the more ornate your tech stack the more work for HA.
More reasonably, mirroring a few Intel NUCs isn’t that far fetched where backups can spill off to a pair of mirrored nas’. If storage failover is needed, it’s not hard to find a used fibre channel storage array on eBay.
For the network, lots of capable little devices like the edgerouters. 2 internet connections (Cable/dsl + LTE) isn’t that crazy anymore. Starlink will be interesting too.
Power? A UPS or two can keep up a few hours on a low wattage system. In turn can be run by a bigger deep cycle battery, maybe feed by some solar or a small generator.
