I can relate in a way. I'm a happy Hetzner customer for over a decade. Now most of my clients are on Hetzner Cloud but before these were physical machines. So I just needed to remember all these mdadm commands to rebuild the array as a disk would fail every 4-5 years on each machine. But there were some close moments:
* Once two disks failed at once - fairly normal occurrence but they should know better and differentiate - fortunately the third one allowed me to rebuild the whole thing
* Once the motherboard failed (but they replaced it within half an hour or so)
* Once there were strange irq messages on the console so I just migrated the machine to another one
* I had a problem with a server once that it would not react to any standard reset attempts so I had to ask for a manual intervention - it worked but turned out the machine had a hidden fault so they replaced it
All in, I'm happy to have migrated to Hetzner Cloud as I don't have to worry about these anymore. I still have two physical machines but just for fun (as a Minecraft server for my kids and a Nextcloud setup for my ebook collection).
