The scary part is that some of the recent issues on GitHub were not the
downtime but data corruption that could go unnoticed. Specifically, I'm
referring to the recent issue with PR merges that removed commits from
the target branches.

That is, you could have merged a PR on the web UI, it would succeed and
silently remove commits on your target branch. You wouldn't know until
you checked git history.
