If you had monitoring, you wouldn't have taken 6 hours to catch it.
I'd say learn HA anyway because it's a good skill, but that doesn't prevent you from having the other parts I mentioned. I say this because, again, unless you are experienced with HA, there will be edge cases where it's not going to do what you though it would do, and your service will be down all the same. Monitoring/alerting and one-click/shell script install will be much more valuable in the short-mid term.
true that i did have uptimekuma for simple monitoring but the 6 hour down time was me, i was unreachable i was inside a factory doing some troubleshooting with no service and forgot to ask for wifi creds ๐คฆโโ๏ธ(was stressed that day ) as for rollback and install i run those through github actions for CI/CD
