The claim that Twitter would collapse immediately never made any sense. Most engineers tend to design software so that they can take holidays. There might be a handful of Ops people who may be need to be available 24/7 but even in a website the size of Twitter those probably number fewer than a few dozen.

Were there prominent engineers making this claim or just the mainstream media that doesn't understand systems engineering?

mainstream media generally understand nothing outside of media, and is especially ignorant about science and technology.

People who claimed to be senior SREs wrote long Twitter threads about how it was going to look like a post-nuclear wasteland within a week of the purchase.
