I believe there is some value in having a portion of this extend, either in real-time or in terms of attention to hiring experience, to people making key technological/architecture decisions.
I've seen many decisions made where some attention to "what failure modes would such a design have, that might result in human attention at 3 AM?" would lead to different fundamental technology choices. I know that I have made different technology choices and design decisions, based on some early career experience where I was the person who would be paged if the system required human attention.
But if the people making the fundamental technology choices have no experience or exposure to the 3 AM possibility, the trade-off might never be considered until it is too late.
