Though I wonder if even besides adding an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (writing acronym out for anyone else who would've had to Google it), this might be a useful exercise recovering from outages in general. This is coming from someone who hasn't actually done any self hosting of my own, but you saying you're still finding down services reminds me of when I learned the benefit of testing system backups as part of making them.
I was lucky in that I didn't have any data loss, but restoring from my backup took a lot more manual work than I'd anticipated, and it came at an awkward time. Since then, my restoring from backup process is way more streamlined.
