It sounds like your oncall is far stricter and noisy than those I have experienced. It genuinely sounds like it is disrupting your life to a large extent. "failure is not an option" is not something I recognise, in the same way that sometimes features cannot be implemented as quickly as wanted, and systems are not as bugfree as I would like. But I am expected to put in a professional level of effort. In my experience of oncall, it means carrying my laptop to social events, not drinking, and apologising if my alarm goes off in the night. For that, I accept the deal that is offered, which is less than my normal hourly rate, but still substantial given the number of hours. If the volume of pages increased, or the required response time was lowered, I would reconsider.
